>>MScomm32 also needs DOEVENTS at times when FoxPro code is running, and the control does not get enough events to process OnComm events.

Also, since DOEVENTS includes all windows events, your code must be interruptable (timing related) at the point the DOEVENTS is placed.

My experience with mscomm32 and DOEVENTS went so bad that instead of using this setteled for 2 timers
1 for reading char. and 1 for prosessing the message.
MSCOMM32 is not good.
