Yeah i saw the piping method a few times here and there... just never have the real requirment andd time to experiment it. Sure i keep the info handy.
one thing is sure VB.NET handle all available COM.. i know i have to move on that one... Not sure how good and how long VB6 will work with Vista... which i still don't want to have 
I like the good ol' stuff.
i'd downloaded VbExpress today... and 
it's like a brand new language... chinese to me.. for now. If anybody have some nice PDFs on it, let me know.
Visual Studio is on the 'stuff to buy one day.. but ASAP' list. I'm waiting for 2007 release... Orcas, or something like that.
Visual Studio 6 did a nice job... already paid few times
PS an API call always work better... Mscomm seems to be erratic on lower baudrate on some machine, while an API call seems to solve most problems. But... who use low baudrate in 2007? ;-)
My memory has faded but I think some early versions of the OCX worked above COM10
yeah indeed.. over 10 there's no problemj, over 16.. you have a problem. There's some OCX available here and there, i don't think they worth as long you can deal with API.
unfortunately, and as far as i'm aware of, there's no 'real' API guide. Those i know are just outdated.

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
