Accessing the Serial Port

[neuflex]

Hello All

I am trying to access the serial port on the computer using C but i cant work up how to set it up. I know the port has the address 3F8 hex are the addressess from 3F8 3FF regsister to setup the baud parity etc. If so does anybody know where i can get some information on how to set it up using C. Ive tried looking on google and the search on these forums but cant find any info.

I was just wondring if anybody had any good information/tips/websites they could share with me to help me on my way.

Iam using windows 98 and mingw compilier

Thanks in advance
