I have used TThreadList as you mentioned for threaded serial 
communication (using SynaSer) with a console program under Linux.

As you and I and others have discussed several times in the past several 
years, having some method for non-GUI messaging would seem nicer but my 
program just works with 1200 baud radio communication so using 
TThreadList and polling is fast enough for that.  :)
