   The SIMTEL archive also has a few serial communication routines
   such as c/asynpec and turbo-c/tasync.  They are written in C.  
   I believe there must be comparable routines in the pascal dir.
   Or else, it won't be too difficult to translate the C routines
   into TP.

   You can email me for more information.

   Talking about interrupt-driven output, I know it isn't essential,
   but I wasn't able to get it work on a modem called ZOOM.  The
   "tasync" package mentioned above makes use of interrupt-driven
   output, it works on all other modems I have tested but not in
   ZOOM.  Anybody else has the same problem?  Or just the specific
   ZOOM I have tested is bogus?
