Hi, I received a message from two students about the kbhit() C MSDOS function equivalent in Linux. I'm not a good C programmer and could not help them. If somebody can, please. Thanks, and sorry for the little off-topic Debian.

Urgent help!!! We are computer science's students of Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica and we are working in a project of communication among PC's. Specifically, we need to connect three computers all of them PC's, but one with Linux and others with MSDOS. Our protocol suport, theorically yet, half duplex and we use the serial and parallel ports. Because other caracteristcs, we need something like kbhit function defined in conio.h of C for MSDOS. This function is like a keypressed and we are looking for something like that because we must emulate the following procedure: ... while (1) { do { printf("."); } while (!kbhit()); if (c=getch()) { printf("\r\nNormal %d\r\n",c); } else { printf("\r\nExtendido %d\r\n",getch()); } pausa } ...
