[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] Int 14h protocol

cjdb@ellis.uchicago.edu (Charles Blair) (12/19/90)

I would like a description of the Int 14h protocols for adapting
asynchronous communications software to run over a 3c503 card (I would
run the modified software over FTP's tnglass program).  Can anyone
point me to the specs? (Is it as simple as converting the program to
using Int 14h BIOS calls instead of writing directly to the hardware,
or is something else also involved?)

Thanks.

I'll answer my own question.

First, thanks for the responses.

In fact, just the BIOS calls are all one needs. It took me a day of
giving some thought to the design of the revised program (which
consists of thousands of lines of 8086 assembler) and then
implementing the changes. Miraculously, all the mods worked, together
and the first time. So now I'm running it just fine over a telnet
driver.
