Hi, folks!

I am running into trouble again (What else is new?). For some bone-head
reasons, I have to connect a bone-head device that do not output standard
RS-232C signal to the serial port. Moreover, I want the output signal to
trigger a software interrupt. The unfortunate thing is: I really don't
know much about serial port, RS232C, UART.... kinda stuff. 

Anybody got any hint? Or can recommend any kind of good sources on such
topics?

I will appreciate any kind of assistance, especially if you can send it to
me via e-mail. A summary will be posted upon request.

Thanks a million in advance. Happy computing!
