The OnComm event fires when data comes in. You don't need to do
anything. Set your RThreshold to 1 and the event will fire every time
a bytes arrives. Declare a static string (inside the ONComm event) and
accumulate the incoming data in it. When it gets to a certain size (or
on some other criteria) do whatever  processing needs to be done and
then reset the static string to "".
