The very best solution is hidden here:
http://www.weizmann.ac.il/home/fesegre/scistuff/Concealing/Serial-0.2.tgz

It is much better than the former serial.dll working up to 4.1.2
and than any other new dll because it is based on TCL.
So, it can be used on any plateform supported for Scilab,
while DLLs work only for Windows and sometimes need to
be recompiled.
I am intensively using it, without any problem.

There are some solutions for the GPIB protocole.
For USB, i do not know any solution but may be still through TCL,
whether you would find a USB-TCL layer.

Hope this help

Best regards
