CF2.0 WM5 Comms help required please

I'm a newbie to CF and WM5 and .Net - just to make life easy!!

Previous experience is comms in VB6

My WM5 device is an SPV M5000 which contains a GSM mobile.

What I want to be able to do from it is dial into a data logger, in the same
wasy I do with my desktop app in VB6, and download the data in it.

eg - VB6 code:

MSComm1.CommPort = 2
MSComm1.Settings = "9600,e,7,1"
MSComm1.Handshaking = comRTS
MSComm1.RThreshold = 0 ' on com will not be triggered. I'll do it all in
here...
MSComm1.SThreshold = 0 ' on com will not be triggered. I'll do it all in
here...


My first problem is, locating a com port! What port number should I be
using?

Secondly, I have to get to grips with the different events in .NET

I just *know* this is not going to be easy! ~LOL~

Any help appreciated (and something tells me there'll be a post coming from
Dick Grier ~wink~ Can't seem to find your book in this country. I will try
harder in the new year!)
