Hi,
	I'm trying to get a program (using bcc) to do simple ascii
modem communications.  I have been unable to read data from the modem.
Is there an easy way to do this?

	Initializing the modem and sending characters is working using
either bioscom() or bios interrupt 14h from Ralf Brown's interrupt
list, but I haven't been able to figure out how to get either method
to read reliably.

Thanks for any help.
