  There are no serial drivers that "come" with XINU. In fact, the book
leaves it as an excercise. You might try CTASK, which I THINK has some
serial routines. If you can't find it, I'll e-mail you a copy. So either
that or write your own. 
  In case somebody has written a set, could you forward me a copy? Thanx.
