INT 14h, 10h Extended Control-C / Control-K checking and transmit on/off
Parameters:
Entry: AL Bit mask (see below)
DX Port number
Exit: AX 0001h - Control-C/K has been received
0000h - Control-C/K has not been received
This is used for BBS operation, primarily. A bit mask is passed in AL
with the following flags:
Bit 0 Enable/disable Control-C / Control-K checking
Bit 1 Disable/enable the transmitter
The Enable (bit 0 = 1) and Disable (Bit 0 = 0) Control-C/Control-K check
function is meant primarily for BBS use. When the checking is enabled, a
Control-C or Control-K received from the communications port will set a
flag internal to the FOSSIL driver, but will not be stored in the input
buffer. The next use of this function will return the value of this flag
in register AX then clear the flag for the next occurrence. The returned
value is used by the BBS software to determine whether output should be
halted or not.
The Disable (Bit 1 = 1) and Enable (Bit 1 = 0) Transmitter function lets
the application restrain the asynchronous driver from output in much the
same way as XON/XOFF would.
