It's here.

Each time I see someone reference it,  an alarm goes off in my head:
"I've _really_ got to go and fix up that code before it spreads any
farther" -- but I'm always too busy it seems.

The main purpose of pmtermsr.lzh was to:

        - Compliment my ColoradOS/2 presentation (ie: there are no docs
          and few comments with the code)
        - Show how to set the baud rate,  etc,  using ioctls.
        - Show that a real PM program can be fast at scrolling (this, in
          fact,  has the most lines of code -- and it has nothing directly
          to do with the serial port).

What the sample does not do;
        - Demonstrate multithreaded serial i/o very well.  It will receive
          bytes well,  but it doesn't transmit them well (The program only
          sends characters from one source: the keyboard -- so I didn't
          bother writing fast output code).
        - provide a generic serial i/o level suitable for file transfers
          (the sample,  after all,  is just a dumb/glass TTY eumulator).
