Members

• wPacketLength
  Specifies the size, in bytes, of the data packet, regardless of the amount of data requested.

• wPacketVersion
  Specifies the version of the structure.

• dwServiceMask
  Specifies a bitmask indicating which services are implemented by this provider.

  The SP_SERIALCOMM value is always specified for communications providers, including modem providers.

• dwReserved1
  Reserved.

• dwMaxTxQueue
  Specifies the maximum size, in bytes, of the driver's internal output buffer.

  A value of zero indicates that no maximum value is imposed by the serial provider.

• dwMaxRxQueue
  Specifies the maximum size, in bytes, of the driver's internal input buffer.

  A value of zero indicates that no maximum value is imposed by the serial provider.
