MSCOMM.OCX

Hi,

I'm trying to write a driver to communicate with other devices on a com
port. However, as many of you probably know, the .net framework has no
native support for it. The solutions that I've found on the net involve the
usage of the MSComm.ocx activeX control an associated licensing. Is there
any way of getting these files without installing Visual Studio 6 (I don't
think I have a copy)? I couldn't find the files on my Visual C++ 6.0 Pro
disc.

Any other solutions?

Thanks in advance,

Chris
