I'm using MSComm control for developing a Personal Response System.

Following are the settings for MSComm control that I'm using:

Code:
MSComm1.CommPort = PortNo     
MSComm1.Settings = "115200,N,8,1"
MSComm1.InputLen = 100
MSComm1.RThreshold = 1
MSComm1.SThreshold = 1
MSComm1.PortOpen = True
Following is the onComm event of the MSComm control:

Code:
Private Sub MSComm1_OnComm()
    Dim i As Integer, j As Integer, k As Integer
    Dim remoteno  As Integer, keypressed As String
    Dim a() As Byte
    Dim buffer() As Byte
    Dim BufferLength As Integer
    Dim strbuffer As String
    Dim diff As Double
    
    Select Case MSComm1.CommEvent   
        'errors
        Case comEventBreak
        Case comEventCDTO
        Case comEventCTSTO
        Case comEventDSRTO
        Case comEventFrame
        Case comEventOverrun
        Case comEventRxOver
        Case comEventRxParity
        Case comEventTxFull
        Case comEventDCB
    
        'events
        Case comEvCD
        Case comEvCTS
        Case comEvDSR
        Case comEvRing
        Case comEvReceive
            strbuffer = ""
            BufferLength = MSComm1.InBufferCount
            If BufferLength > 0 Then
                buffer = MSComm1.Input
                k = 0
                i = UBound(buffer)
                For j = 0 To i                    
                    If j = 1 Then
                        remoteno = buffer(j)
                    ElseIf j = 5 Then
                        keypressed = buffer(j)
                    End If
                    strbuffer = strbuffer & buffer(j) & ":"
                Next j
            End If
        'MsgForm strbuffer
        Case comEvSend
        Case comEvEOF
        Case Else
    End Select
   
    If BufferLength > 0 Then
        'Process user's response....
    End If
End Sub
When the user gives response from his handset then each response is processed in the onComm event.

It's working fine for small no. of handsets but the problem arises when a large no. of handets are used.

Any help would be grateful.
