Hello.
I have a question for MS Windows programming experts.
So, the question is:
	"Is it possible to operate on the API level
	with COM and LPT ports under Windows?"

My motivation is: I've got a device with a specific 
communication interface and I need to create a Windows 
application which will be able to control this device by
means of COM or LPT port.

In the other terms, I need to set and check zero/one voltage
levels on a concrete port pin over a constant time interval.

Any ideas/advises/references will be very appreciated.

				Thanks in advance,
				Xvosil Rained.
