Re: Serial Serial Serial

Hi,

I wonder if how to deal with all the asynchronous reading and writing I have
been doing with the classic and OT serial code. Is there a away to do
asynchronous write/reads in BSD? Right now, I've been queueing multiple
buffers for read/write. It is not just for high performance, it is necessary
for my application with needs to send/receive streams of voice data to a
voice modem. I wonder if this read/write queueing is available in BSD.
