Well, I haven't done much with this myself, but my understanding is that you
can open the COM port and read characters from it, and send characters to
it... I don't know if there's a way to get an event when incoming data comes
in, but you can continually read from the port, even if it's empty.

It's something like:

 open driver "COM2:"
 read from driver "COM2:" for 10 chars in 2 seconds

Check the Transcript Dictionary for "open driver" and "read from driver"...
