Help!

I need to do serial port I/O under TP6 without using inline assembly or 
3rd party libraries (unless they're shareware/PD)  I need to be able to do the
kinds of things a term program does: send/recieve data, set baud rate, parity
etc... this is for interfacing with a custom hardware device (not a modem)
I don't need any snazzy error detecting/correcting protocols (like X/Y/Zmodem,
Kermit etc)  I just need to be able to pump bits in and out of COM1 or COM2
on a MSDOS machine.

Please mail response and I'll post a summary if there is additional interest
