Format:Paperback
I've been designing, installing and programming communications networks for 28 years (asynch, synch, X.25, APPC) and this is the most lucid explanation of asynchronous, serial I/O I've found.
I've written low-level, interrupt-driven comm. handlers for the 8250 UART based on this book. To my knowledge, I've the only interrupt-driven INPUT buffer routine I've ever found (in C).
Chapters 6 and 13 alone are worth the price of the book.
Two of the systems I've used serial I/O are: [1] interface between HP 3000 and cardboard corrugator for production control; includes five serial I/O ports to machinery, consoles and spooled printers (under DOS!). [2] interface to meat grading probe, electronic scale & bard code reader in a slaughterhouse (DOS again).

If you are planning to do any serious programming with serial communications, I suggest you purchase a copy of this book. Instead of just a narrative, this book contains as key charts, C code, and X modem information, informational and classical C R C circuits, frequency modulation, scratch pads, terminal information, R S 32 intimation, and on, and on, and on.
It includes an ASCII poster. I have tried mounted my copy of the ASCII poster and placed on Wall above the CRT. The people where I took it to be dry mounted asked me if this was an eye chart.
The Bullets on the back cover include: The ASCII character set and cover extension techniques.
The fundamentals of a synchronous technology: baud rate, START and STOP bits, and more.
Error-checking methods including a landmark treatment of C R C's.
Flow-control and file-transfer protocols.
Modems: theory and practice.
The rs-232interface from the programmer's point of view.
Intelligent modems, including the entire Hayes smart modem family.
UART's: a detailed examination of two popular products the 8250 and the deceit Z80SIO.
This book is 655 pages long and there is not one wasted.

Informative Book
22 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
This book is well written and easy to understand. The author provides an extensive background in the basics of serial communications in the first portion of the book. The second portion of the book provides many insights into programming for serial communications. The code examples are easy to follow and provide a useful library of tools.

Fine and Huge book
25 Feb 2001
Format:Paperback
I was introduced with campbell book wile studing at University; for a course of Data Comunications.
The firt part of the book is really fine; I've never used the second one. As a programmer working ocasionally with RS-232 I've found usefull the concepts explained in the book while working with serial comunications and High Level libreraries like termios under UNIX or Comm Object in VBasic
