Need create a "host-only" COM port (linux guest)

[wb0gaz]

I would like to create a COM port accessible to an application running on the Windows host system, that is not associated with a physical serial port on that system. The envisioned serial port would be accessed by a Windows application (running on the host system) as a COM Port, but communications would be with a software application running on the (guest) Linux virtual machine (that would see it as /dev/tty device). I could do this by creating host-only IP port and a "virtual com port" application running on the windows host system, but I'd prefer to avoid any additional software or involvement with the IP environment on the host system. Is this possible? Thank you.

See section 3.9 (Serial Ports) in the User Manual - your question is answered there.
