Doing serial communications in Excel is extremely difficult without
using any third party tools. You would need to write some very complex
VBA code that calls Windows API functions to open a serial port and
send or receive data.

A much better approach would be to use a tool that is designed
specifically for the job. One very simple solution would be to use a
product called WinWedge from TAL Technologies

WinWedge is an executable program that is designed to run in the
background and feed incoming serial data directly to other Windows
programs and also provide other programs with an easy way to transmit
serial data out a port.
