I'm working on a project that requires me to send serial port data
from my PC to an external device not of my design. AFAIK, I don't even
need to read any data, just send out numbers between 0 and 255.

I've never done any serial port programming, know nothing about it,
and of the code I have found on the net for serial communications,
none of it compiles properly as-is in DJGPP (lots of FAR calls and
such not a part of DJGPP). And I don't really know enough about what
the code is doing to port it.

Does anybody know of any serial port (even modem specific code would
be fine) code available out there for DJGPP? Something i can take
apart and figure out? And is there a good site on the net describing
PC serial port communications in general? Please post here- no e-mail
at the moment. Thanks.
