[AccessD] Printing to a network port

Shell "Ping 192.168.1.1"   
is about the simplest way I know to send data directly to a network address from Access.

Oh, you meant useful data to a port which can be used at the other end?  You will need to 
do some Winsock programming.

If you are happy to use third party components, the "free for personal use" OSWINSCK is 
easy to use.  Instructions for use with Access including sample code are at
