PC Panic are calling for expressions of interest from TSR programmers 
experienced
in developing communications software.

We have been contracted to provide a scheduling program that will 
periodically supply
a remote machine with a sequence file (ie, a list of animations). The 
remote machine will 
cycle through the list of animations until interupted by the scheduling 
machine via a 
RS232 link. Once the animation display program has been interupted a 
ZModem program will 
execute. Once the new sequence has been transferred the system will 
reboot, reinitialise 
the interuption monitor, then execute the animation display program, 
which will be 
interupted the next time our scheduler program requires a sequence 
update.

We require software that will monitor the state of the serial port and 
insert an escape 
sequence into the keyboard buffer when activity is detected in the port. 
The solution may 
involve two programs, one on the scheduling machine, the other on the 
remote machine.

The remote program must Terminate and Stay Resident while an Animation 
Display program runs.
It must accept as parameters Port-Number and an arbitary sequence of 
ASCII codes.

eg MONITOR 1 27 13
           ^Port-Number
             ^ASCII codes
