- Being that this maybe a FAQ, but since I haven't seen a FAQ for this newsgroup,
- I am going to ask anyways. I have written some functions that write,
- initialize, and get the status of RS232 ports or a modem using registers and
- calling the bios interrupt $14. My problem is: I can't figure out how to read
- from the port. I tried using the same method as I did with the other functions,
- Is there someway I can read from these ports or am I out of luck? Also, is
- there an easier way to read and write to these ports?
-
- Any help would be appreciated.
-
- PS: BTW, I am using Microsoft's QuickPascal which I think is supposed to be
- compatible with Turbo Pascal.
