  The current implementation is a wrapper to the native serial API,
how I think it should be (mostly). I have code to emulate protocol
signals with termios, but the code is messy -termios _is_ messy- and
not completely portable -I suspect. This is one of the things I am
working out, trying to device some *generic*, non-intrusive method to
handle serial control signals. There's a lot of serial equipment we
interface to, so I hope I can continue testing the module in many
platforms.

  Cheers!
