I have just migrated a Windows 2003 guest VM from Virtual Server to a Windows 2012 Hyper-V host.  I had forgotten that the guest used a modem for a fax application.  I know that Hyper-V 2008 did not support a serial modem redirection to a guest OS.  Does Hyper-V 2012 support this?  Note that this is a SERIAL modem, not a USB modem.

Thanks,
Joe

Hi

I'm not sure because i didn't test yet . but i think you can use "SERIAL TO ETHERNET CONNECTOR"

this support in hyper-v and Windows server 2012.

as I know in Hyper-V server 2012 doesn't support Serial port .

You could not pass through a USB nor Serial device.

There is COM redirection, but it handles ports, not devices such as cards.

Nothing has changed in this regard:
