I tried for a while to do them in VB5 with the CE toolkit but not much success there. Prior to moving to VB.Net 2003 I was using EVB 3.0 which did have a com control of sorts. or at least I think it did.

I was a bit shocked the VB.Net did not have some method for talking to the serial ports, after all even GWBasic could do that. Of course it got added and all was well again. I think VB2005 was quite a jump forward in many ways.
