    I am relying on memory now but...

    MyFile=Freefile
    Open "COM1:96,N,8,1" for binary as #MyFile

    opens COM1 at 9600 with no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. Unfortunately, it relys upon the operating system to do this and struggles under NT/2000. Additionally, last time I used it, 9600 baud was the fastest you coud go.
