Accessing COMports in VB.NET (including COM24!)

I've downloaded a Dot Net assembly DLL and a Class that can both be
used to access COMports from VB.NET
I've used the Class before in another project, using COM2, but I now
want to access COM24, which on my PC is a Bluetooth COM port, and it
just won't open the port.

If I use Hyperterminal to open COM24, it works fine...data streams in.
So, is there some limit so that it can't access above COM8 ?
how does Hyperterminal do it?

Or am I going about this all wrong, am I suppose to use some Bluetooth
stack to access COM24, and if so, anyone got some source code example
to open COM24 and start reading?
