As it looks like there's a better than even chance I'm gonna have to write a communications package for an ibm pc (yeech) I need some info. The following packages offer some kind of communications support, ranging from device drivers written in assembly to complete libraries with C source. If you have any experience with either the package or the company I'd really like to hear about it. I'd also appreciate info on anything not listed here and advice on what to do and what not to do for this project. Below I've listed the packages I've found, the company offering it, and their phone number. If you want more info on a particular package let me know and I'll send what I can to you. I can also post a summery if enough people ask me to, or one person threatens me bodily harm if I don't.
