Technical support / Fastest possible Communication's

I am only receiving a responce to the Comands sent out, about every 20 ms at 38400 with a direct serial connection , my code is only sending one command at a time. because it needs to know what command was sent, so it will know where to put the responce data. I get about  8% CPU usage, and that is pretty good so i dont want to mess that up. With this senerio i can only expect to update 50 tags a second. Can anyone Tell me a Better way to do this, or is this as good as I'm going to get. Im using Visual Basic with the MScom control and the
highest baud setting that is common to both the T100MD
and the MScom is 38400. Thanks for any suggestions

Free Omron Hostlink C20 OPC/DDE server for Tri-Plc
I did download it and tried it with excell, the data did come into excell , but it came in as Hex data. Excell has some functions to convert this in to decimal. But if thats a problem you can Buy Their latest and gratest OPC server that allows tag scaleing and alarm/Event status for 99 bucks. Thought you all might want to know this. here is the link.
