I work with serial ports all day. I know all about them from an outsiders
point of view, but I'd like to know all about them from a programmers point
of view. I'd like to make my own very 'very' simple terminal program using
C++ to access the serial ports on a pci card. Eventually I want to send data
out and receive it back in but for now I want to get to grips with what it
takes to open the port(s) and close them.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of some useful material I can
read?
