I am relatively new to Visual Basic, so kindly bear with me.  We've recently
purchased an Arnet "Smartport Lite" serial comm card with 8 serial ports.  We
also bought the Communication Developer's Kit that lets you develop 
applications under Windows.

My question:  The Comm Developers Kit comes with a .DLL file, but VB refuses
to access it ("Error loading DLL" or something like that).  According to the
tech support at Arnet, they do not support Visual Basic, but they DO support C.
As I understand it, VB should be able to use it anyway.

Their Tech Support also told me they DO have clients who have been able to
get the board to work with Visual Basic and without the SDK.  (This is exactly
what I'm hoping to do).

Any help?  Anyone?  I have been able to execute other functions in the Windows
DLL files, so at least I have some idea how to declare and access DLLs.

Replies via Posting are welcomed, email encouraged.

Thanks, 
Mark
