I recently released minicom 1.60, a menu driven serial comms program
(clone of MSDOS Telix) for *nix. It compiles under Linux, Coherent, BSD386
and _also_ SunOS 4.1.3. It's under the GPL and I have centralized all
system dependant serial stuff in one module: sysdep1.c (and sysdep.h).
It has most if not all routines to control a serial port. It's plain C,
but it wouldn't take much to build a SerialPort class out of it.
You can find it on sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/apps/comm/minicom-1.60.tgz
Hope it is useful - Mike.
