Hi,
New version of DZComm now ready.

     - interrupt driven
     - 16550 FIFO support (if you have it ;) )
     - XON/XOFF flow control.
     - software buffers for input and output data streams (size may be
       changed by user)
     - any base address/irq combinations (I have my modem on irq 7 ;) )
     - multiply numbers of comm handlers at the same time.
       (I mean you may work with any number of comm ports
simultaneously)

Changes since DZComm v0.2 (from changes.txt) :

DZComm v0.3

- serious bug fixed. This bug coused system crash then it runs on slow
PC
  at high boud rate.
  
- modem status and line status removed from read queue.
  Instead of it you may provide your own handlers for this events.

- comm_port_get() - removed from library. Use comm_port_test() instead.
  Data returned by comm_port_test() is not packed now, so you never need
  q_reg() call.

- XON/XOFF flow control add.

- add comm_port_load_settings(). Now you may load settings from file.

- add comm_port_reinstall(). Change any port settings and apply it at
  runtime.

- add modem_hangup().

- add comm_port_string_send() and comm_port_command_send().

- found on the Net and placed into /doc exelent serial hardware
