I'm on Windows XP and we use [comport] to let pd communicate with a motion 
tracker. We use a modified [comport] object made by IEM guys. You can download 
our version from http://iem.at/~majdak/download/pd/
It tested and stable for Windows 2000/XP.

Winnie/IOHannes: do you want to merge your version of [comport] with ours?

br, Piotr
