Reading data from COM ports

[Sarah Reichelt]

I have a serial port test stack that I can send if you are interested. I 
have submitted it to the Revolution user contributions but it hasn't 
appeared yet, so I can send it to you directly if you would like.

It allows you to specify various serial port parameters and send & 
receive data.

Cheers,
Sarah
