C Programmer's Guid to Serial Communications by Joe Campbel, Howard W. Sams
& Company, full retail is 24.95.  This book mainly gets into Xmodem
communications, and of course all the code is in C.  It also just covers
two UARTs, the 8250 and Z80SIO.  (sounds like an ibm eh?).  It also has
some good information on error detection, information transfer etc.
The information transfer gets into Kermit somewhat, Xmodem, etc.

It does give some good information on most things involved in communications,
but is slanted towards ibm. But then again, communications is not slanted
towards any machine, since the background information is on ARQ, send-wait
ARQ, Continuous ARQ.   Its coverage of basic communications is done
quite well thought.  Of course it does not mention the SSC.
