1. Introduction

The Mobile FBUS ActiveX Control is a Visual Basic ActiveX control for use in 
Visual Basic 5.0 and above projects. It started as an experiment with mobile 
phones linked through a cable, and has now become a well-formed project in the 
form of an ActiveX control. Because of its experimental nature, this control 
is a freeware control.


2. Installation

After download, unzip the mfbus15.zip and copy the following files to 
<windir>\SYSTEM (NT users to <windir>\SYSTEM32):
  gjfbus15.dll
  MFBUS15.ocx
  MFBUS15.oca
  REGSVR32.EXE

Then go to the command prompt and type:
  regsvr32 MFBUS15.ocx

The installation is now complete, and you can include the OCX in your Visual
Basic project. The control is shown as "Mobile FBUS control v1.5" in the 
Visual Basic components list.


3. Usage

The usage of this control is completely described on   http://www.softwarecave.com
