[comp.lang.pascal] COM ports with Turbo 5.5

Hello...

   I am writing a BBS program for the IBM-PC using Turbo Pascal 5.5, I know
there are plenty of COM port libraries out there but none of them have passed
my "works with any modem possible" test (well Hayes compts at least)...  
has anyone drawn up some generic code that will work with either COM1 or COM2
that they could pass along to me...  I am in no position to write custom code
at this time nor do I have the techincal knowledge to do it...  I am sure there
is not much to it... all I need is something to write a character to the port
and read a character in if there is one waiting...

  Thanks...
