Hi,

I use threaded and event-driven serial port communication all day with
FPC and I did not have to write anything.
Have a look at the great CPortLaz library

http://sourceforge.net/projects/cportlaz/

It also has a few lazarus components, but I easily removed them from
the source code to make it a FPC-only library.

Cheers,

  Roberto
