Disclaimer: I'm new to Turbo C++... I'm new to C++... For that matter, I'm
just learning C (not a bad transition from Pascal, though).

I'm trying to do serial IO using the bioscom library function. The IO
appears to be unbuffered. If so, what is the best way to do buffered
IO out the COM port? If not, can I set the size of the buffer? Finally,
is there a way to set the XMIT/Receive timeout times?  Thanks.
