Firstly Investigate your compilers pragma INTERFACE features. what you
will need to do is build up a set of ADA functions and procedures that
are directly bound to the C calls, in unix's case I think ioctl() would
be a good place to start.
basically , ADA has no features with which to read from a serial port,
you'll have to use the C calls and bind them to ADA.
