Many thanks to:

   His site is in french, but he has some readable english translations on the protocol

 Detlef Sievers - detlef.sievers@t-online.de
   This guy put together a decent RTF of the protocol in German.  Google Language Tools
   helped tremendously in translating

This library can be upgraded to .NET very easily using the built-in Convert tool
that comes with .NET 2003.  However, if a .NET conversion is to take place
it should be done so using the WIN32 RS232 Communications APIs (File objects)
