Not quite - this is  not an asynchronous protocol, this is single-purpose 
software written decades  ago to communicate with highly specialized hardware 
that is still in  use.

Nope, these are MS-DOS apps that require access  to the UART registers. 
Anyone who thinks that MS-DOS is dead and buried  doesn't have to work with 
some of the vintage (but still in use) technology  that I sometimes deal with 
at work. I am certain that there are many on this  list whose vocations 
involve decades-old hardware that is still in  use.
