Well, I can learn.  I did some quick tests and I think you might be 
right.  In a quick test, I dropped characters with char and did not 
with int1.  Weird.

With int1, all looked good.  I sent out all 256 codes using 
numToChar(), that is, 0 to 255, and read them back in using uint1 and 
got what I expected:  0 to 127 and then -128 to -1

This was on Windows XP using the built-in com1: on my PC.
