Sounds like you want a virtual serial driver. Check out the CryptoDrvr
sample from Palm. Search for "serial and sample"

Hello
Perhaps I should have worded my question better. I don't actually want a
background task in that sense but rather an application that is always
running in the background. I want to be able to write a device driver that
reads the serial port (done all that stuff), processes it and enqueues
events into the system queue. I can't have the application always running in
the foreground as I want the user to be able to run up other applications
such as memopad or whatever (then this user chosen application will pick up
the system events that I posted from my background application).
How do commercial keyboard drivers etc do this?
Regards.
Gary
