A project has come up for me that requires accessing a serial port
and modem within my program. Most of my experience is under unix,
and I'm not well versed on how to do this under dos.
Are there any recommendations for either
-Public Domain library routines out there
-References for books covering this pretty well
-Commercially available libraries. (My first foray into a
search turned up the name "Blaze Software" for routines...
comments? )
I apoligize if this is a well hashed topic. I've only just started
reading the group. If someone has some past summary and can mail that,
that would be super. Otherwise I'd be happy to summarize and post any
feedback I get via e-mail.
Thanks!

Most of my experience is under unix, : Here is a tip that may, or may not, be of use to you. This is a subject that I've seen most often discussed in an international FidoNet pascal group. Even if I haven't written any telecomm progs myself, I have enough experience to have been able to see that there has been some useful code around there. Incidentally, this is one of the very few instances where the quality of a FidoNet group brightly outshines its UseNet counterpart (comp.lang.pascal). (No offence meant to comp.lang.pascal, just a clinical observation). So if this is of interest (you obviously must have a modem judging from your query) try finding a near-by BBS (bulletin board) carrying the "international pascal discussion" group. ...................................................................

>> Communication Libraries..
Check GREENLEAF (I'm not afffilated with them nor have I used their product)
For PD/Shareware stuff check your local MS-DOS systems... I think you
should be able to find something to meet your needs. If you need Books
try "C Programmers Guide to Serial Communications" I lived by it when
comm routines for my ssystem here.
If you're looking for some releativly simple multi-tasking routines
and plan on doing communications with the same project check out
CTASK21.ZIP floating around on most MS-DOS systems
