I have a rather weird problem with djgpp v2. I have two computers linked
together(Both on COM1), using a serial link. And I am using bioscom(), in
bios.h to send bytes across, I initsialize them both with the same settings,
but i can only send from one computer. I can send a byte on one which will
get picked up by the other, but i cant do it the other way around. I have
run quake multiplayer, and that works so i don't  think it is a broken
cable. (The communication had worked previously). can someone write me a
small program that will send and receive single bytes, just so i can compare
what i am doing to see if ne thing is wrong. thanks
