<hardware, communications> (Or "com port") A connector on a computer to which you can attach a href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=serial line">serial line connected to peripherals which communicate using a serial (bit-stream) href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=protocol">protocol. The most common type of serial port is a 25-pin D-type connector carrying href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=EIA-232">EIA-232 signals. Smaller connectors (e.g. 9-pin href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=D-type">D-type) carrying a subset of EIA-232 are often used on href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=personal computer">personal computers. The serial port is usually connected to an href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=integrated circuit">integrated circuit called a href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=UART">UART which handles the conversion between serial and parallel data. In the days before bit-mapped displays, and today on href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=multi-user">multi-user systems, the serial port was used to connect one or more terminals (href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=teletypewriters">teletypewriters or href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=VDU">VDUs), printers, href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=modems">modems and other serial peripherals. Two computers connected together via their serial ports, possibly via href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=modems">modems, can communicate using a href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=protocol">protocol such as href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=UUCP">UUCP or href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=CU">CU or href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=SLIP">SLIP.
