How about  using WaitForMultipleEvents to multiplex the handle to the 
serial port and a handle to an event that is set when the timer expires. 
That should work for the Future usage too as you can set the event when 
the cancel method is invoked. It would tie up one of the threads in your 
thread pool for the duration of the I/O operation, but I assume that 
this wouldn't be a problem as the number of serial ports it likely to be 
small (I would guess).
