Communication with serial COM ports

[f1710577]

Hi,

I want to be able to communicate and get data (input and output) from and to one of the COM ports on my computer using C.

I have recently finished a tutorial on C, but it did not help me get this info.

Does anyone have any suggesions?

If you are using dos, then:

Hard going though.

There's a shedload of comms stuff in C on the web.

What operating system?
