I have one of the Crystalfontz 634 USB LCD's. After searching the script archive I found one for vbs to the LCD. Problem is, I bought the LCD before I did my proper research. The VBS script requires you to use the acomport.dll. The only legit way to get it requires you to pay $150.00 for the use of the dll. OUCH!

So I would like to see Network Stumbler support the new Microsoft Powershell. It allows you to call comports directly without having to pay for a $$$.dll.

It already does support the MS Powershell. NS will run any scripting engine installed on the same PC as NS. That included, VBS, PHP, Perl, and even Powershell.

Back to the end of the line noob.
