I'm am trying to get turboc 1.5 to interface with a serial port using    
BIOSCOM.  It seems that bioscom doesn't actually send (or receive) the data
that I request or send.  Is this a problem with the version I'm running?
Any help would be appreciated.  I was sure to include the stdio.h, bios.h, and
dos.h (just in case).  The syntax I used is shown below:

int q,d;
char ch;

...
/*  Send a byte */
bioscom (1,ch,2);

...

I know that the COM2 port works, as I have a modem installed and working.
Please mail replies directly to me.  Thanks.

Todd
