To initialize a THINK C file structure to talk to the modem port say:
fopen(".AOut", "w"); fopen(".BIn", "r");
the printer port is ".BOut" and ".BIn" respectively. The resulting MacO.S.
refnums can be fetched up out of the structure to do Mac O.S. serial settings
calls. (since you have to call the Mac O.S. anyway, you might as well just
write it as a Mac program and forget about stdio). Case is significant.
These ports default to 9600 Baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
