Hey all.

Is there a way I can connect an RS232 com cable between 2 laptops, and send an ascii string from one to the other.

The receiving laptop will be running my VB program, which will "listen" to the COM port, using the MSCOMM activex.

Not sure how to send the ascii string to the laptop, Can I use hyperterminal? If so how would I do this? Is there something else I can use?


Many thanks for help with this.

I need to test this, to see if it works.
