- You may want to look into PDQComm for Visual Basic. It allows you
- (according to their slick ad brochure) to add serial communications to
- your VB applications. Says it comes with "a complete library of
- subroutines, functions, and a unique custom control for adding event
- driven serial communications support to your Visual Basic applications."
