used under DOS. It also includes an interrupt handler for enhanced performance
with user definable buffer sizes. Accessible from all DOS languages, it is the
heart of the Serial Solution.
It has extensive handshaking support, implementing both hardware handshaking

NewMode.exe
A replacement for the DOS 'mode com...' command. NewMode is used to set the
serial parameters, including the port address, IRQ line used, the baud rate, parity
and data and stop bit options. Baud rates supported are from 110 baud to
115,200 baud! Included is a very handy query mode that reports the settings of
the various serial ports. Flexible and fast!
