How to call RJ45 as a serial port for communication?

Question

I am currently working on a serial interface project based on connecting to the rs232 port. However, observing a decent number of laptops and / or PCs, it seems that their rs232 ports will disappear within the next 5 years, I was considering using the modular RJ45 port for my project (EIA / TIA 568). However, I'm not quite sure how to designate it when accessing the port through Win32API (I program in C ++). It is currently programmed to "COM1". Does anyone know how I can find out what this port is called or how to configure it so that it can be used in this way?

Answer 1

I'm really confused ... RJ45 ports on laptops / PCs are for Ethernet connections, right? I do not understand how you could use it as a COM port.

If you need a serial port and do not need ultra-low latency *, take the USB ↔ RS232 converter, they will work from 20 to 30 US dollars and will work perfectly: from the point of view of PC software, it looks like a normal old COM port.
