By writing the appropriate chip registers.

Ehhr, google? "16550 pdf" Only 54.000 hits or so... :-)

Not sure. It should work. Many years ago I wrote a TurboPascal unit for this kind of comms and this worked on all windows versions from 95 to 2000. Haven't tried it on XP yet.

You may download it from

and use it as you please.

By writing directly to the register, or using any which serial communications library to do that for you. Trying to get this to work for a DOS program running on anything else but real, raw DOS might well prove impossible.
