What are some comprehesive sources on serial programming?

Ideally they would cover things like:

  • history of devices
  • current and future uses
  • how serial devices work
  • protocols
  • and, of course, how to program, preferably in C/C++

This Wikipedia article covers a lot of it, and has links to other information, including

programming for Linux and WIN32

and

Serial Port Communication in VB.NET Programming

In addition to that, Wikibooks has a free book on Serial Programming

I was hoping there was something thorough out there but if there is no one seems to know about it.

I learnt most of my unix serial comms from Stevens' Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment.
