If I may ask, just what sort of application are you developing that
needs such complete and total access to the UART? Using the serial
port for more than just passing serial data back and forth using
standard handshaking (RTS/CTS, etc.) is very rare, and applications
that do this are highly specialized. <br>
<br>
If you really need to go that route, with full access to 100% of the
UART, perhaps this book would help (chapter 6 is on serial device
drivers).<br>

Just know that you will have to do that part of your application in C
as a device driver, not with FPC. FPC does not, and cannot, override
the base operating system restrictions regarding port access.
Expecting it to do so just because TP under DOS would let you do that
won't make it happen, either. And insulting comments like "Under the
bottom line, it is embarrassing time consuming for a newbie like me, to
work successfully with serial ports on linux." directed to the FPC list
won't change that either.<br>
