Well, my first thoughts would be to try:

(1) Writing a DLL that provides access to the serial port.  Any real-time,
    time critical code could go in the DLL. ToolBook has pretty reasonable
    support for calling into DLLs

(2) Write the serial port handing as another application and talk to it with
    DDE.

Cheers,

Harry
