pass serial data through or via video chat program

I want to be able to send serial data out a serial port of a remote computer. Using a popular video audio chat program. Either as an add on or by taking advantage of existing functions. The idea is to operate a toy by remote control while watching the results real time. I want to be able to use visual basic to write the control pad application and be able to pass the formatted command strings to something that will see to it they come out a serial port of the other computer. I have not chosen a chat program. It would have to be a common readily available one. A browser add on that would supply all three functions would be good as well. I am open to suggestions right now. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
