Hi,
DZComm provides a low level interface to serial harware. It means DZComm
kwons only
about bytes (8-bit). To do a real communication you need some type of
exchange protocol.
For example, let two computers reads and writes in 128 byte long packets
(you treate 128 as
a packet) . Each packet has a header section where you may provide
fields about type of packet.
Again, DZComm is LOW level mean to transmit and receiv bytes via serial
hardware. The actual
exchange protocol depends on you.
