You may want to look into PDQComm for Visual Basic.  It allows you
(according to their slick ad brochure) to add serial communications to
your VB applications.  Says it comes with "a complete library of
subroutines, functions, and a unique custom control for adding event
driven serial communications support to your Visual Basic applications."

PDQComm is put out by Crescent Software, Inc., 11 Bailey Avenue,
