    Question serial port programmig in C++

    hello ..

    i have to write a program in C++,to monitor the packets coming through the COM 3 where my internal modem is connected...
    basically,my aim is to capture the packets coming from the internet server and demarcate those packets and extract the data..

    the OS on which i work is windows 98,and i work with Turbo C compiler.

    so,how do i start off with such kind of programming??

    Well let's get past all the inconsistencies in your post first.

    The title says 'sockets', yet the post refers to COM ports.

    You post in the C++ forum, yet all you talk about is C

    You make no mention of your OS or compiler, without which we can't even begin to help you.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Agreed - moved to network forum.
