No, the SerialPort class cannot emulate a multitude of terminals and protocols.
However, you could use the SerialPort class to implement protocols and write server/client emulators that behave like the above. The more complex the emulation, the more work it will be.
You're going to:
- Listen in a loop to the data
- Parse out the incoming messages
- Display output based on the protocol
- Send information based on input from the user (and the commands accepted by the protocol
The SerialPort class gives you access to the serial port and the ability to read and write from it. You'll need to do everything else yourself.
