thanks saurabh

i was looking for command and ways to get it done by VB or VC++. please do let me know if you know anything on it.

Do you have MSVC 50 or 60 compiler ?
If yes then you can take a look at the TTY sample.

This is a simple executable that lets you transfer and receive bytes across serial ports.

You will need a shielded cable with a 9 bit connector on either sides.

Get hold of two compuers which are loaded with Win NT and connect their respective COM1 ports using the shielded cable. Run the TTY.EXE sample on both the computers.

.....and there you are. You have the full source code also (TTY.C)

This is a demo of  PC to PC communications. For PC to external hardware communication, you will need to use specific chips ( not much idea about that)

Hope this helps
