Accessing serial ports using c#..

Hi all,
I need to access a serial port to which a mobile(cellular phone) is connected and read an SMS message stored in the phone..
All this using c# or any other .NET supported language..
Can anyone help?

Thank you

I do not know how (or at least not the details). But there are programs around that do exactly that. For one of our customers we have a special GSM called the Falcon. This is a machien that acts like a cellular phone but is not. On the internet we found some software that interacted with this. (you can also use windows HyperTerminal, though that will require you to know the commands).

The commands are not that easy, I can look it up tomorrow for a little reference.

Few "cellular" phones use the same commands.

I know how to talk to the serial port using VB, but haven't done anything like that with C# yet...
