; ROUTINE TO INITIALIZE COMMUNICATIONS LINE
;
; FUNCTION: This routine initializes one of the two communications
;           LINES.
; INPUT: Upon entry AL contains the initialization byte as follows:
;
;   7	6	5	4	3	2	1	0
; -baud rate-----     --parity----  -stop bit- -wordlength-
; 000 = 110		00 = none	0 = 1	10 = 7 bits
; 001 = 150		01 = odd	1 = 2	11 = 8 bits
; 010 = 300		10 = none
; 011 = 600		11 = even
; 100 = 1200
; 101 = 2400
; 110 = 4800
; 111 = 9600
;
; DX contains the unit number (0 for com1: and 1 for com2:).
; 
; OUTPUT: Output is sent to the hardware controlling the specified
;         communications line.
; REGISTERS USED:  No registers are modified.
; SEGMENTS REFERENCED:  None
; ROUTINES CALLED:  BIOS interrupt 14h (RS232 I/O) is used.
; SPECIAL NOTES: None
