For non-blocking reads, just ask the serial manager how many bytes are in the buffer, and only read that many bytes. Have your IO done once every pass in the event loop (for example) for a simple time-sharing scheme. You can even encapsulate your IO schema in a FSM and make a little chore that you call each pass, ie "gCommChore->Perform()" There have been other discussions in this (and the comm forum) on how to do fancier i/o using some previously "reserved for system" calls.
