Can socket:// be used with nullmodem?

[alexrudd2]

test/sub_examples/test_examples.py::TestAsyncExamples::test_async_simple_client[serial-rtu]

creates host == socket://__pymodbus_nullmodem:7636. Does this make any sense?

[janiversen]

why does it not make sense?

that is how to activate a nullmodem connection.

OK, I would have expected __pymodbus_nullmodem:7636 but clearly don't understand it fully :)

NULLMODEM act as a host, so defining a serial connection, follow the same pattern as other hosts "socket://:".

"socket://" signals to use a socket instead of a tty port for serial transport...no big secrets :-) and actually it does matter because this can be used by applications that use pymodbus.
