PComm, a professional serial comm tool for PCs, is a software package that runs under Windows
NT/2000/XP/2003 and Windows 95/98. PComm provides:
! A powerful serial communication library for easy programming in the most popular programming
languages. The serial communication library is useful for developing applications for data
communications, remote access, data acquisition, and industrial control under Windows
NT/2000/XP/2003 or Windows 95/98. It is an simpler solution compared to the more complex
