I have an older Terminal service app with a heavily built up front end/interface. At some point or another it supposedly sends out a signal to com ports telling them to activate (Cashbox attached to computer via serial). Can CE after hooking into the app look that particular protocol?

It's been a while since I've used a serial port, but I believe you can treat them just like files from a Windows C/C++ standpoint. So, break on CreateFile and look for the filename to be "com1" or something.

It may be easier to use something like filemon here, instead of or in addition to a debugger.
