I guess uou can use a OCX MSCOMMCONTROL in your forms.

I had this job done using a vb communication compenent and calling it as a executable in oracle forms. This used to write data in a file, which oracle forms used to read, display and store.

You can refer more on mscomm ocx (mscomm32.ocx). This is very easy to develop in VB. Make a executable and call it in forms.
