And a serial port is a single byte stream. So
Very very few are. As stated a single byte rcv buffer UART is a very shonky piece of hardware. The stock (what is it, 82530 or some such compatible UART on most PCs) has an 8 byte RX FIFO. Better quality UARTs on serial PCI cards will have far bigger FIFOs.
