[comp.sys.ibm.pc.programmer] any PC to Host comm ideas; full serial hw handshake driver needed

tac@sei.cmu.edu (Timothy Coddington) (04/14/90)

     I need help choosing an effective way to do PC (386) to host (Vax)
     communication.  At this point I'm interested in a serial interface
     with full (or whatever will suffice) hardware handshake flow control.
     I don't know at this point what the data will consist of so I'm
     assuming Xon/Xoff will too limiting.

     Who do you know (commercial vendor) sells a COM port driver that will
     provide hardware handshake on COM1 or COM2 ports.  The 386 system
     runs DOS 3.2, and DESQview.

     Ideally, I want to install the driver through config.sys .

     I don't (I don't think so at this point) need an elaborate
     communication package.  Commercial-of-the-Self and simple are very
     important.  

     I would appreciate some constructive feedback.

     Thanks
