Write a device driver.

One possibility that just dropped on my desk (I 
know nothing about it, I just happened to get this
card in the mail today) is something called
SoftwareWedge from TAL Technologies, www.taltech.com.
>From the card, it looks like it provides 2-way 
i/o from a serial port such that you have easy
access from your application.  You might look into
it.

Yes, of course.  You can find numerous examples on 
the ObjectAda CD-ROM.  Look in the samples folder and
also the win32ada\samples folder.
