1. Eu and Serial Ports
After trying different ways to talk to my modem, with little success,
I found the following:
"There are, of course, BIOS and DOS routines for serial com-
munications, but these are weak, and are not used in serious
programs. The SERIOUS device driver is intended to fill this
gap."
Norman J. Goldstein
Mr. Goldstein has thoughtfully written a comm driver for dos, which may
solve the problem (fully interrupt driven). Might be the way to get multi-
player games going?
A copy is posted on my web page http://www.mindspring.com/~mountains
for you to experiment with. Filename is serous221.zip

I believe there was something written back in the 286/386 days called a
FOSSIL driver that accomplished various serial port needs (esp. with
regard to a modem).
