Edgard, II have used NT Port from Zeal Soft Studio (www.zealsoftstudio.com) for about 3 years. NT Port works with Windows 95, 98, NT and 2000 and allows access to any addressable port. NT Port is a professional quality product with good customer support. You may download a demo or you may purchase NT Port for $30 which is a small price for reliable bug free port access.
