Hi Pete,

If you google around, you will find that MSCommLib is a class
contained in MSComm32.ocx.

And MSComm32.ocx was a component shipped with VB6. Note that
VB.Net does not support serial communications, probably because
m$ thinks that serial comm is obsolete.

If you don't have vb6 installed, you best bet would be to find
a buddy with vb6 installed and "borrow" a copy. (Note that m$
may frown on this unless you sign an "End User License Agreement",
an EULA for short).

If you google some more, you will find some sites offering you
a copy of MSComm32.ocx, for example:

http://www.tech-archive.net/Archive/.../msg01077.html

but, I couldn't find an "offical microsoft" download for it.

cheers, jw
