    Hi everyone,

    Really liked it at a first glance, but I'm trying to discover the best way to work with it.
    It can work in Sync and Async modes, but witch one's better? If I use Sync, everything will stop
    untill it answers back. If I work in Async mode I'll have to watch out for code re-entrancy
    and all the things that can happen while waiting for an answer if it got the job done or not.

    Doing simple comunication demos is easy, but a real life app is slightly diferent.

    I do think that Async mode is better, but I don't have enough experience to a final word.

    Can anyone give any insights? Tips? more examples? I want to command a machine by serial port
    on a 24x7 basis, so my app has to be stable (IOW, I have to know what I'm doing, so I won't
    goof it up).

    TIA

    Andrew
