David, I had the same need and have been using win32ole to access the mscomm
serial com object which comes with visual basic.

I am enclosing a copy of the code I wrote.... consider it an alpha, It's
almost midnight here so I will send an example of it's use tomorrow.  Please
do not put into general circulation yet, I need to spend some more time on
it.  Hope it helps... Let me know.

Ignore the PacketizeData class, I'm still working on that. :)

I've started using Ruby a week ago as my first OOP
language - very impressed.
I need to access the COM1 serial port under Windows.
Can this be done?

Thanks
