CommTools works great for me. I use it to communicate with receipt printers, cash drawers and pole displays. They are currently in final beta for their new CommTools ActiveX product. It's scheduled for release in late Nov. 2001. Good FoxPro samples ship with the software. Contact achalk@magnacartasoftware.com for technical info and support.
