   I'm assuming you're working in C. If not, this book will still
be useful, but not reasily so.

   I would suggest "C Programmer's Guide to Serial Communications" by
Joe Campbell. ISBN 0-672-22584-0, published by Howard Sams & Co.

   Ooops...just looked at your message again. You said you were working
in C. Ignore my first paragraph.

   Anyway, the book is an excellent reference and includes code to
create both polled and interrupt-driven serial I/O applications.
