Kelly, I use QBSerial myself... links nicely with VB/DOS (use the bc7ser and not qbser). But to answer you question: If the port is locked, call opencom with the locked port speed. Use CTS/RTS flow- control. If possible, use a fossil (QBSerial 300 supports Fossils) and you won't have to worry about non-standard IRQ's and all that. Hope I helped!
