i dont have serial port present on my laptop.
could any one tell me procedure how to do so?any documents relating to same?
any help would be appreciable.
Dear Abhishek:
Given the way these virtual machines work, you pretty much have
to communicate with them via network channels. You can set up
a private network, internal to your PC, via which your programs
can talk to your virtual machine(s). I would then say that the
appropriate sort of technique to use is something like ssh, to
run a "remote" command in the VM from cygwin. Conceivably, by
using the bidirectional process channels available in gawk (a
GNU extension), you could easily script something more 'interactive',
that is, more back-and-forth. Or you could write a program
that uses network connections.
