Disclaimer: I'm new to Turbo C++... I'm new to C++... For that matter, I'm
just learning C (not a bad transition from Pascal, though).
I'm trying to do serial IO using the bioscom library function. The IO
appears to be unbuffered. If so, what is the best way to do buffered
IO out the COM port? If not, can I set the size of the buffer? Finally,
is there a way to set the XMIT/Receive timeout times? Thanks.

Thanks. > Steven This is a very good question! I was just about to ask the same thing. Although I'm a guru in UNIX/C I'm a novice when it comes to C++ and C on MSDOS. I wrote a short C program using bioscom and characters were being dropped from the COM port. To learn C++ better I would rather just write in C++ then in C. So I'd also like to know how to access the COM ports without dropping any bytes.
