Are you using AmigaBASIC? If so, try a compiler such as Blitz or GFA.

to open the serial port:

open "COM1:19200,n,8,1" as #1

COM1 is the serial port
19200 is the highest baud I have ever used (for my modem)
n is "no parity", your choices may differ
8 is 8 data bits (you can use 7 too
1 is 1 stop bit (you can use 0,1,2)

then INPUT#1 or PRINT#1 to exchange data.

If you want to talk more about BASIC, please contact me. I use HiSoft BASIC
for many of my programs.
