Serial comm with vb and comm control
The UARTs in a PC always use one start bit and there is no way to use
anything other than this. In other words you do not really have a
problem because all RS232 devices including your PC use one start bit.
I would recommend getting a good book on the MSCOMM control like the
Visual Basic Programmers Guide to Serial Communications by Richard
Grier. You can find it at www.amazon.com or at:
