Int 14/AH=02h

SERIAL - READ CHARACTER FROM PORT

AH = 02h
AL = 00h (ArtiCom)
DX = port number (00h-03h (04h-43h for Digiboard XAPCM232.SYS))

Return:
AH = line status (see #00304)
AL = received character if AH bit 7 clear

Notes: Will timeout if DSR is not asserted, even if function 03h returns data ready. Various network and serial-port drivers support the standard BIOS functions with interrupt-driven I/O instead of the BIOS's polled I/O. The 1993/04/08 Compaq system ROM uses only the low two bits of DX
