I have recently  used Stephen Leake's com port package to do a serial port
driver for a hardware
simulator GUI application running on Windows and using GNAT Ada.  Take a look at
his
packages at http://users.erols.com/leakstan/Stephe/ .  I made some small
modifications to suit my
needs (to handle pure binary data rather than ASCII data) but I think you will
find these very
helpful.
