Borrow Jan Axelson's book
Serial Port Complete at your local library. It will get you up and going in no time.
If your local library does not have it, use
inter-library loan to get it.
Or
buy it.
The demo code and code examples
downloadable here show how to read and write some of the RS232 control pins, and how to read the Pentium's RDTSC 64-bit nanosecond timer.
