How to connect a 3G USB dongle with Windows Mobile 6 emulator?

Question

I have a real 3G USB dongle which shows several Serial ports. I want to map one of the Serial ports of the Windows Mobile emulator serial ports to the real device, to test a custom RIL implementation.

First, is this scenario possible?

I have tried to modify HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Microsoft\\RIL\\ComPort on the WM emulator, to set up COM1. I have also tried to map the emulator serial ports to the real device.

Using a serial port monitor, what I can see is just how the serial port is open, and no data is transferred. RTS and DTR lights are "on" on the monitor. Could it be a configuration problem of the serial port? Do anyone know the configuration of the Windows Mobile emulator serial ports?

Thanks all!

You can map two emulator ports to two real serial ports. See this article for details . The ports will appear as standard serial ports. If your dongle offers some extra functionality, it will not be available.
