Does someone have a few pointers on what calls are needed to read a char
at a time from the serial port (nbuffered) and to write a char at a time to
the serial port?  I need to gain terminal access to a cp/m system with 
peripherals (printer,modem,floppy disk archive, etc.) and would like to 
write a C program to use the cp/m system as an inexpensive file server.  
Problem is the serial link between the Amiga and the cp/m systems uses the
terminal port, so I can't use the normal "copy * to ser:" kluges.

I have the Bantam manuals and the Lattice C disk, but data on serial
I/O is nearly non-existent in any of it.  Any help would be appreciated.
I'll post whatever I develop that works...
