Read from Serial Port

[Casey Bralla]

I'd like to read ASCII data from a serial port, but (once again) I'm having
trouble getting started.  (Can't seem to find the basic level of docs to
get going <sigh>)

I'd like to use only standard "built-in" modules if possible.

Could somebody offer a simple code-snippet to get me started reading from a
serial port?

Thanks!
