"non-terminal program that uses the XPR libraries is not possible."
Incorrect! All one should have to do is open the serial port in shared
mode and carry-on by calling the XPR libraries and moving data through
them. One does not need a 'terminal' ready for user-interactivity. "Taking
over" the serial port isn't an issue when the BBS opens the port in
shared-mode and the CLI program is not run as an independant task.
As for the 'proper' way to implement XPR, I don't think it matters.
