Howdy. Where can I find some examples on how to write COM: support under
OS/2?  I did some odd things, and it seems to work, such as DosOpen("COM1:"),
and then writing to it, and then reading back character by character for
the user input (I want to write a BBS software, so all I need is writing,
reading,and checking for carrier). It seems to work, but especially reading
character by character is a lot of wasted overhead. Is there a better way?

Thanks, -turgut
