I generally use a serial to USB converter (or more often I2C to USB).
These will pretend to be COM ports if you configure them in "control panel (windows)" as such.
So you can do all the OPEN COM stuff and work at a blistering baud rate.
I've been using "future technologies" devices

Neither had I, until I started this job. It's remarkably outdated stuff for the organization, but I you shouldn't waste (reasonably) good tech hahahaha
I'm doing the same. It runs RS232 null out of the reader and I convert it to usb at the lab pc. Baud for the reader, interestingly, can be set to 300/1200/9600
