[comp.protocols.ibm] RS-232 HELP

harrist@k9.cs.orst.edu (Timothy Bryant Harris) (01/22/89)

	I'm currently trying to interface an external device for input
 and output through the RS-232 port on an IBM-pc.  I have little experiance
 with IBM's and no experiance with input/output ports.  I have some manuals
 for the device that tell how to run it(it's called an ESP-II device
 in case anyone out there has ever heard it.) once it's hooked up and the
 port is open but I can't find any software(that works anyway) to open the
 port(or whatever the software is supposed to do).  If anyone has any source
 code that does such a thing(Turbo Pascal?) I would appriciate it.  Also,
 any other tips or helpfull hint would be great.   THANKS!!
