Any of the Mach VB guru's know if Mach can now recieve data on the rs232 port?

I know it's possible to send with SendSerial command, but did Rx ever get implemented?

Thats a real shame..   I could be able to do so much more with my homebrew PLC if I could pass verbose messages back to Mach.

I guess I'll have to continue using an input for Acknowlage which has it's drawbacks.

So if I want to set my VFD by serial command I can only send the command and I can't receive the reply.

Yes I know about that archaic Modbus Protocol Wink   Maybe I'll go that route unless something better comes along.

It's just I have a simple PIC based I/O controller that costs next to nothing to make (<$10) , has as much I/O as you could wish for and can be programmed in Basic.

Is there any reason in particular that RS232 Rx is not supported?
