know I run my own operating system that no one else in the Universe uses
and I cannot run any software not written from scratch by me.
Is the interface EIA-232? It's the only interface that's Classic enough,
standard enough and universal enough for me to use. Oh, and can it work
with baud rates of 38400 or lower? I can't use higher baud rates because
they are not standard in the Classic (non-pee sea) world.

Can you write a C program or sh/ksh/csh script?

You mean you don't run a 4.3BSD derivative?
Is the interface EIA-232?
Yes.

Why wouldn't it be able to?
I can't use higher
baud rates because they are not standard in the Classic (non-pee sea)
world.
Huh? Are you unable to design and assemble something as simple as a
RS-232 interface? ;)
