[net.micro.mac] serial port driver and loss of characters

rfl@oddjob.UUCP (Bob Loewenstein) (10/28/85)

I want to have the mac reading input from the modem port while the
user may be clicking events either from the keyboard or the mouse. This
means that any characters coming in while, say, pulling down a menu
may be lost. I have been using the ROM driver and this is indeed the
case. I do not want to lose these characters, and I know that the
various terminal emulators work as I want would like. Does anyone
know how to do this?

Thanks in advance.
