Alright, a real challenge for VB

I know very little about using RS232 communication for anything other than just straight Rx Tx kinda communication....

I think that it has to have at least 4 output bits

is this right?

if so I need to manipulate the values of those.

I would need to send a sequence of...

1000
0100
0010
0001

Don't try to make sense of this, it is just to talk to hardware, and this is the sequence it needs to work. So this is basically what I need to do, I have a c++ program to do this through the parrell port, but it is very very slow, and I was wanting to take advantage of the higher baud rates that the RS232 hardware allows.
