Yes, but there's a lot of sleepy time between characters — how do you decide
when you've gotten all characters pending from the current burst, and it's
time to update the screen? Try this pseudo-code skeleton:
while (carrier_detect)
while (serial port has a character)
get (in_character from serial port)
send (in_character to buffer)
if (screen is ready)
send (buffer to screen)
while (keyboard has a character)
get (out_character from keyboard)
send (out_character to serial port)
