Thanks to all for the serial port references. My USB problem is worse than just a COM port, though. Somehow (you tell me what's easiest), I have to get video in from a camera (full broadcast bandwidth). My inclination was to use a USB video grabber. If I do that, then I have to know how to deal with USB input. What's the best way to proceed? (I will actually have more than one camera feeding the computer).
