   To be a bit more serious about your request....   
      
   I haven't gone down this route with VB, using it to communicate with terminals   
   or emulators, so I can't help you much, but if Dick Grieir is around, he may.   
   (He writes books on comms with VB)   
      
   I get a sneaking suspicion that what you're after is a "dotnet" scenario.   
   Try asking this in newsgroups with the words "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name.   
      
   BTW, classic VB code does read from top to bottom, but it's all in "packets"   
   which are controlled by events that are created either by the program's user,   
   such as clicking on a command button, or tabbing out of a textbox into the next   
   textbox, or from a trigger (such as a modem wanting to be recognised)   
      
   I've yet to even look at a VB.NET (or later version) program - I think I'd be   
   needing my youth again to understand it
