Serial port driver parameter standards?

Post by Pr0f »

As per the title really, looking to see if there are any defined standards for extended or additional serial devices.

I am aware that SuperHermes has it's own additional syntax for it's serial ports, but wanted to know if any overall standard was in place.

Looking to add the following:

a) Xon/Xoff handshaking to Protocol
b) Word length argument (4,6,7 or 8 bits)
c) Buffer length
d) Baud rate for individual ports
e) Stop bits


The last one is a possible optional - as b) above has some affect on this in any case.

Baud command has some limitations for values and is an overall setting for com ports, so may be of limited use here.
