You can use the mscomm control in vfp. The sample code is very similar to what you would use with vfp.

#define DISPLAYRESET CHR(31)+CHR(17)
* add the mscomm control to your form.
with thisform.MsComm1
.Comport=1
.PortOpen=.t.
.Settings="9600,N,8,1"
.Output=DISPLAYRESET
.Output=CHR(67)+"1222"
.PortOpen=.F.
endwith
