Does it work from VBScript executed via cscript/wscript? If it only works from VBScript inside a webpage hosting the control, the problem will be that you need an OCX "container" to host the control. Pythonwin is capable (see the pywin\demos\ocx dir), as is wxPython (but I've never use that). Otherwise, can you post the VBScript code which does work (just up to the successful PortOpen property set)?
