RS232 is weird. MS offers a mscomm32.ocx routine but it comes with severe licensing restrictions, meaning it cannot be used with all VBA versions that came with Office. Probably because Bill doesn't want us to. So I am using the API now, with mixed success. But heck, if it was too easy there would be no learning experience.


Other than the OS, which I have to have to run my scientific app's, I
avoid Micro$hit stuff like the plague.

Excuse.

The grumbling is rising to a roar ;-)


But: Yesterday it was reported that a kid has hacked it, using 500 hours of brain time and a soldering iron.



He didn't hack the interface or the apps though, dip***. He hacked
the baseband (you should have read it, idiot). He allowed for a
different carrier to be used. He did NOTHING about the applets running
on the phone.

Sheesh.
