I can see a number of things. First, I work in QuickBASIC, so my 
solution may not be exactly the same.
 
1: COM1 address is &H3F8 COM2 is &H2F8
 
2: I don't know about PowerBASIC, but the OPEN COM statement in QB uses 
BIOS routines, and BIOS routines only handle up to the fastest a serial 
port can go (regardless of the modem speed) which is 19200.
 
3: Try this: open "com1:19200,N,8,1,RB1024" for BINARY as #1
The RB1024 sets the receive buffer to 1024 bytes. The len= has no 
effect on communications routines.
 
Hope this helps!
