Have you looked into letting the OS do it? I.e., reading from COM4:
or whatever port in a thread maybe one byte at a time? Maybe you can
get your end functionality without writing low levels stuff, depending ;-)

I haven't done this, but it seems an easy thing to try a few experiments with.
The control panel should let you set baud rates and handshaking etc. I would think.
