It has been written.  I have a device driver for com1 & 2 written by
Mike Higgins (copyrighted, but permission for distribution).  It's about
48k of asm code.  Comments say it supports Xon and hardware DSR/CTS, 128
byte send/receive buffers, other goodies.  I have not used it, however.

I can't post it to the net, but here are some sources:
