Any > wisdom in this topic will be greatly appreciated. one of the recent back-issues of Dr. Dobbs Journal had a tsr serial port handler in it. It took over one of the interrupts and you could use existing well-behaved software with it at speeds up to 34 or 38k baud. It was written in ASM (most of the time, you want interrupt stuff in ASM anyways). Hope it helps. Mike Cuddy CONVEX Computer Corp 701 N. Plano Rd.
