I have not even heard about either of those components, not ever.

I have always thought and assumed that "everybody" developing with 
Delphi and doing serial port communication use the old good Turbo Power 
Async Pro package.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tpapro/

All my serial communication is done with Asynch Pro for 10 years or 
more. Nothing specially fancy though, fax machines, payment terminals, 
serial printer tasks etc. only.

You were talking something about critical sections and maybe threads, I 
have never had to go there. But I see Asych Pro newsgroup has rather 
fresh postings about them also.
