Well, I use AsyncPro 4.07 on Delphi (Windows) in a lot of programs, so
I know about it.
But there are a few things that keeps me off AsyncPro for this
project:

1) AP is very big and has way too many bells and whistles for me. I
just want the RS232 communications running without any extras like
TAPI, BBS:es etc...
A simple component like SdpoSerial looked OK to my needs.

2) The final target for the program I am developing is an embedded ARM
system running Embedded Debian. I think I should be better off using
what comes with FPC/Lazarus than a port of a product like AP to the
FPC environment.

I may be wrong, but those were my criteria for selecting SdpoSerial
plus advice obtained here.
