I have a simple C RS232 library for the PC which I wrote. It is free to
anyone who wants it, but I must warn you that it is not fully documented
and might still contain errors or incompatibilities that I don't know
about. I have been using it in my own programs for about 4 years now (as
well as several of my friends who have used for about 3 years) and it has
worked every time. Email me if you want a copy and I will email one back to
you or I could upload it to my website if you wish. I also have one for
PICs with built in USART but I have not used that one as much so it is much
more likely to have errors.

BTW I find it hard to believe that there are no decent public domain serial
libraries out there. I just wrote mine for the challenge.
