Use System.IO.Ports.SerialPort for FormTerminal?

Hi,

I'd like to point out that the .NET Framework 2.0 ships with support for serial ports (RS232), see the System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.

Maybe Open Dental could use this class instead of the external RS232 library?
That would reduce the list of external DLL's required and improve Linux support, among others.

I'm not familiar with FormTerminal, but I thought it was worth mentioning anyway.

Frederik.
