serial port data transmission

i want to make a simple chat application using serial port in C langauge.. i found 3 functions which i think can be used for this purpose..
1)outport 2)inport 3)bioscom

am i right or not . i am using turbo c++ 3.0 compiler...

Plus if anyone got any tutorial/website which can help me please tell me .. remember i want to make chat application using serial port not parallel port ..
thanks

I did something like that a few years ago at school..
I found some source on this at PlanetSourceCode.
Try searching their site.
