Sending SMS Messages from Terminal Devices Using MSComm Control.

Hi,

I am using some commands for the siemens m20 Terminal.
when i use the hyperterminal, i get teh information properly
MSComm1.Output = "AT+CSCA?" & vbCrLf

but when i use the above from vb,
RichTextBox1.Text = MSComm1.Input
the response is not being displayed... though is contains some things.. what
could be the reason... do i have to explicity convert to string and parse
it... any idea will be greatly appreciated..

Hi,

As I mentioned in another dev-archive forum, I'm using chr(26) for (Ctrl-z). It
works great for VB6, using MSComm & a Motorola Timeport.

I have no idea it crashes your mobile but thought this might help.
