Depending on termination and the length of the string you may be
able to use drvAscii even if it isn't ASCII. I have taken apart
a string that is much too long for drvAscii and contains line
feeds in a getTrimmedFrame.c function that is bound in via a
drvAsciiSetRxFunc("/pty/dustm.M", getTrimmedFrame);
statement in the startup script and then take the resulting
string apart in a gensub (we're running 3.13.8).
Sorry it took me a while to reply,

Not in 3.13.4 it can't ;-)

How does the device terminate a message? Do you know in advance how
many characters it will send?
I think streamDevice can probably be used.

Does anybody have any tips as how to communicate via a serial interface
to a device that takes commands and gives responses in binary bytes
rather than ASCII? We are using EPICS R3.13.4, and it appears that
streamDevice is not available, or would require some extensive hacking
to get it to work. devAscii is available, but since it relies heavily
on string scanning functions, it will likely choke on any data that
contain null bytes.
