oops, blush,stammer, WRONG!!!

vb.net supports serial communications as the "serialport"
subclass of the "System.IO.Ports" class.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...erialport.aspx

So, if you don't happen to have vb6 around, you can write
an "interop" assembly for accessing your serial port in
vb.net. Then use "regasm" to register your assembly as
a COM component, and then use it from script.
