I currently use DJGPP as my DOS compiler and I was wondering if anyone
had any source for reading/writing to serial and/or parallel ports.
I'd like to try to write a little chat program that works between two
computer connected though a serial/parallel cable.  I don't know if it
is possible, but I'd like to try to learn how to do something like
this.  I don't have much experience in lower level programming and the
only language I know is C, but I thought this might be a good learning
experience to make a program that allow exchanging data between two
computers connected by a cable.  I would appreciate it if anyone could
help me get some source on accessing the serial port.

I have searched simtel and x2ftp.oulu.fi and I have had no luck
finding this.

Thanks for any help.
