Hi,

I want to control RS-232 devices from a C program on a PC.
Am using MS QuickC. Such a beast needs to buffer incoming
serial port byte streams, do required handshaking, and
support XON/XOFF. I will be using COM2, though it'd be nice
if arbitrary ports are OK. I want to compile and link with it.
I've heard of a commercial product by Blaise Computing, but
I'd like a shareware version that can be freely distributed
to others in similar need.

Thanks in advance,
phil...
