If you are looking for a good tool to do serial communications
directly from within Excel, I would recommend that you look at a
product called WinWedge at the following URL:
http://www.taltech.com/TALtech_web/p.../winwedge.html

WinWedge is designed to make it easy to both send and receive serial
data direclty from within any other Windows program including Excel
and it requires little or no programming at all.
