It should be possible to the best of my knowledge... I haven't played 
with DOS or Windows programming for years. Except for some simple GPIB 
exercises, it must have been back in mid 90ies or something. Anyway, I 
assume POSIX sockets and serial I/O exists. The only real cleanup is the 
GUI interface, where wxWidget or GTK might be the options to consider.
