- One that I've had good success with in a production environment is SilverWare's
- SilverComm library. It recognizes the 8250 to 16550 on PC's and PS/2's. I
- don't remember seeing who supports a 57600. The library is in C and ASM with
- source supplied. They also have a dBASE/Clipper version. It's supports
- multiple port buffers and multiport serial cards. They provide multiple ways
- to read the data from the ports. It's quite robust. They also include
- X/Y/Zmodem protocol transfer functions. And terminal emulation support via
- screen I/O functions. Using the functions provided made the part of my
- program dealing with serial I/O miniscule. I believe that it supports up to
- 115K baud but I only used it at 19.2K.
-
- Greenleaf is also a very popular library but haven't used it myself.
