Hi,

Do you know if there are any products (commerical or pd) that will give me
a programmers interface for any reasonable reliable network protocol that
uses the serial port?  I need to have one application connect to another
and be able to send a reliable stream of data back and forth.  It would also
be nice if the client/server connect sequence was capable of telling a 
modem to dial a phone and connect to another modem.

Something similar to the unix socket interface would be nice.  I'd like to
have function calls that would do something similar to:
socket(), bind(), accept(), listen(), read(), and write().

Thanks a lot,
