First stop, download the DDK. (If you haven't already.)

Second go get the WinDBG debugger.

I believe there use to be a serial port driver sample included. (Sorry, can't
remember.) Anyway that should get you started.

Go ahead and check out some of the other websites for "generic" handlers
and classes. Normally however, you will end up wanting or needing to write
your own VxD. Simply so it can be managed and behaves expectantly within
Windows.
