From what I understand of most of the people porting to *nix is that 
they're not even doing comm port routines.  I'd get up with Stephen Hurd 
on this for more details, but last I heard they were just 
writing/reading to/from standard input/output and letting the OS/BBS 
take care of the comm routines so to speak.

Not sure if that makes life easier for you or not....
