A server has one or more communication ports. A host computer has a driver communicatively coupling the host computer to the server via a secure encrypted network connection. The driver emulates the one or more communication ports of the server by defining a corresponding local communication port for each of the communication ports of the server, and further includes an application programming interface (API) by which an application program executing on the host computer is granted full control of one of the communication ports of the server, including hardware and software flow control, as if the communication ports of the server were local to the host computer.
