I've been looking for information about the Atari Lynx comlynx and was unable to find enough about it. I know it connects lynx together via comlynx ports, but is there any documents that give detail to how it works?

Try reading the Jaguar SofRref PDF, there is a section called "Asynchronous Serial Interface (Comlynx and Midi)".
Although I am not certain they are the same thing I would assume that the Comlynx mentioned in that is the same as that for the Lynx, if not Atari should have given them differnt names to avoid any confusion.

The ComLynx is just a COM: port where send and receive are wired together.

You can see the programmers documentation at cc65 docs

Thanks a lot... I've been looking for something to give more information on exactly what Comlynx is all about.
