- I'm having a few problems programming the serial.device, and I was
- wondering if anyone would know the answers to these questions:
-
- 1) Is there any way of checking how many bytes are in
- the serial buffer before reading from it?
- I tried using CheckIO(), but I'm not sure its for this purpose.
-
- 2) I need to turn off CTS/RTS handshaking, is there a
- way of doing it through the operating system?
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
- James.
