Along those lines I have been using the activeX interface to send commands
through the serial port using the MScomm32 COM object. For some reason this
will not work until you install Visual C++ (I haven't tried Visual Basic)
and then uninstall everything but the active X components. This has
happened to me 4 times now so the behavior is consistent between windows NT,
2000 and XP. Other than that, these new COM and activeX interfaces have
been working beautifully for me.
