Have you tried the BCserio and/or DZcomm libraries?  

I am a happy SVasync user so I can't make any recommendations about
the other libraries but since nobody else has replied I thought this
would better than nothing.

The relevant resources are possibly linked to from the FAQ, if not you
could try the list archives.

Also, this post from Eli Zaretskii suggests that you can add buffered
output support to SVasync using some features of DJGPP:

Please post if you have any success with that approach.
