Hi Steve,

How the petrol pump pass signal to a PC, with a series port or parallel
port? In VB.NET, we have a control named "serialPort " that can monitor the
communication on serial port resource. And here are some articles on this:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...erialport.aspx

http://weblogs.asp.net/pwilson/archi.../28/34218.aspx

You may first consult the vendor of the petrol pump, if it support be
communicate with series port. If so, you may use this control for it.

Sincerely,

Luke Zhang
