Hi.

I have a C-application running a while-loop that 10 times per second polls
a serial port for data. The program maintains some lists according to what
comes in on the serial port.

I want to synchronize the data lists in my application with lists from a
remote device (via a serial port used only for that purpose). This
involves these steps:
   1) receive data from remote device
   2) update the data lists in my application
   3) send the updated lists to the remote device

What is the best way to transfer the data over the serial line?

Do I just rely on the transmission quality or, if not, how do I ensure
that every piece of data is transmittet correctly?

I'd be glad to hear any kind of idea. Thank you.

./Anders
