Why do you insist on a Qt solution for this? Just read it with standard 
C or C++ code. If you need to have the Qt event loop running, then do 
the reading in a thread and set up queued signals for sending the chars 
to other threads.

Just because Qt is a *very* big hammer, not all problems are nails :)
