Hi,
I would like to know how to get the symbolic link names of Serial Ports
from my driver. I know that if Serial.sys creates objects, it expose them
with the name Serial0, Serial1 etc. But if a different driver enumerates
the com ports the symbolic link names wil b like tpt .

So how do i get the symbolic link name of , say COMx from my
driver…eco.
thanks in advance
