Where can I find some examples on how to write COM: support under OS/2? I did some odd things, and it seems to work, such as DosOpen("COM1:"), and then writing to it, and then reading back character by character for the user input (I want to write a BBS software, so all I need is writing, reading,and checking for carrier). It seems to work, but especially reading character by character is a lot of wasted overhead. Is there a better way? Thanks, -turgut
