Communicating with an ECU

[steve ravet]

You might try posting in the microsoft usenet forums, or checking the
knowledge base on their WWW page.  If both your computer and theirs can
be connected to the internet, then you could use a remote control
package like Timbuktu to take control of the other PC and run the ECU
program on their PC, talking to their ECU, with the desktop, keyboard,
etc. being sent to your computer.  Failing that I think you'll have to
build a mode into your program that does nothing but route data between
the modem and serial port.  Sorry, can't recommend a good windows book,
the last windows programming I did was with Petzold!
