Hello ----

While checking the new books on display at the library, I came across one
which may be of interest of many readers of this newsgroup:

Title:  C Programmer's Guide to Serial Communications
Author:  Joe Campbell
Publisher:  Howard W. sams & Company, 4300 West 62nd Street, Indianapolis
                                                             Indiana 46268
Phone # for where to buy it: 800-428-SAMS
Copyright: 1987
ISBN: 0-672-22584-0
Lib. of Congr: 87-60387
Pages: 655
Cover Price: $22.95
SAMS #: 22584

The title is a bit misleading....although some of it is definitely oriented
towards the C programmer, it also contains loads of practical information
on ASCII, RS-232, protocols, UARTS, even a whole chapter (50 pages!!) on
the Hayes Smartmodem & derivatives.  Plus lots more.....

I'm definitely going to buy a copy for myself.  I'd recommend it without
hesitation to anyone programming or doing hardware with serial I/O and/or
modems.
