Hi.

It's me again.

I am writing a program that requires input from a generic character
device.  (Such as an internal modem).  My problem is that characters will
arrive at the modem before I can detect them... because the character
device isn't buffered nicely like the built-in serial ports are.  I
am using GS/OS to read characters from this device, but I can just as
well use the Text Tool Set -- whichever would solve my problem.  I
know I can write an interrupt routine to do this, but I was just
wondering if there was an easier way.  PLEEZE let there be an easier
way!  So does anybody know anything about the IIGS out there?
