Hello, I`m trying to connect a terminal to a MS DOS Computer and learnt, that the serial port is unbuffered. Unfortunately I`m no technichian who could easily write an interrupt routine which buffers the COMx port. Had anyone did so? Hauke Hess / University Hamburg / Germany

The send/receive routines in the PC's BIOS do not contain much more than a in/out instruction to the communications chip. Device drivers which give a better support are often written and often asked for. Once in a while one floates through the net. You can also check the famous ftp-sites, but I don't know any details.
