Most of the press enter or esc twice to continue were to bypass mailers.
The serial work in question was in DOS.. and simply used interrupt 13 vectors
for the handling thereof I don't remember a lot more about it now.  But it
was the NULL line which just floated permanently in a state of DCD to the
Apple IIgs that had the mini front end hit enter twice to wake it up.

I just had enough code to read/write single characters to the port, and an
extra funtion to feed it strings.
