AH = 0Bh.STACK:
WORD caller's UID DWORD pointer to ASCIZ name of requested method "abort" abort current send/receive on comm port "block" start/end critical section "close" terminate interrupt-drive comm I/O "open" prepare comm port for interrupt-driven I/O "delay" set delay timer and wait "hibernate" put process to sleep "ints" enable/disable interrupt-driven INT 14h "length" get current send/receive buffer offsets "kswitch" switch stacks "numproc" get number of active processes "protocol" set protocol function for comm interrupts "relocate" set/reset VMiX flag for relocating to himem "status" get current open comm port status "wake" awaken a process "xport" get comm port polled for logins ---if "abort"--- no additional arguments ---if "block"--- WORD 0000h end, 0001h start ---if "close"--- no additional arguments ---if "open"--- WORD comm port (00h-03h) WORD BIOS parameter byte (see #00300 at INT 14/AH=00h),except bits 7-5:
000 = 19200, 001 = 38400, 011 = 115200 ---if "delay"--- WORD time in seconds ---if "hibernate"--- WORD process ID ---if "ints"--- WORD 0000h if no, 0001h if yes ---if "length","numproc","relocate","status","xport"--- no additional arguments ---if "kswitch"--- DWORD pointer to new stack ---if "protocol"--- DWORD pointer to function (must be in low "assign"ed memory when in 386 mode) ---if "wake"--- WORD process ID
Return:
DX:AX -> result or 0000h:0000h ---if "length"--- BYTE receive offset BYTE send offset ---if "kswitch"--- DWORD old stack pointer ---if "numproc"--- WORD number of active processes ---if "status"--- current open comm port status ---if "xport"--- current comm port being polled for logins
Note: The "delay" command reportedly disables the keyboard until the delay completes
