There's a file called uart*.* found on some BBS's. It's a set of C functions 
to
handle serial port stuff. Fossil communications requires you communicate 
through
an interrupt to handle the coms stuff. There should be several examples of 
ll
of this on you local BBS/Hub. You could probably write a class wrapper 
yourself
to convert the stuff to { serout << "Hello" } style, although the C functions
are always a lot better for this sort of thing in my opinion.
