I'd add one observation: while you can be reasonably sure that data is sent if
you ask the serial port to send it, that does NOT mean it will be received. I
suspect what is actually needed is a guarantee that the data is received.
A serial port does not offer that guarantee. If the hardware is clean, it only
offers a high probability. If you want guarantees, you need a data checking
and acknowledgement protocol, like DDCMP or TCP or DECnet.
