Yep, it's possible - Freeboard does it in VB6, but through a C dll.  The files
are at http://www.egroups.com/files/freeboard-dev/

There's also http://www.egroups.com/files/freeboard-dev/stdio-VB-example.zip
but I am using http://www.egroups.com/files/freeboard-dev/RedirectControl.zip
for the moment.  You can see a picture of it in action:
