subject: Keyboard stuffer from COMM ports.

Hi:
I am looking for any programs or devices drivers that can be configured to
read raw input from the COMM ports and pre-insert or post-append to the
input and stuff it into the OS/2 keyboeard buffer.
I have  a DOS application that I am considering to port to OS/2. 
However,my program relied heavily on a DOS TSR from T.A.L. enterprises to
obtain input from the COMM ports and stuff the keyboard buffer.  My
application is written in a 4GL call DataFlex and the runtime doesn't
understand handle Serial communication too well.  We have Barcode scanners
attached to the Comm ports and My application treats it as keyboard input.
I could run it in a DOS VDM, however I am still confined by the DOS
limitation.  DataFlex does have a native OS/2 runtime.  
Thx.
