Yup. That's on the list of things to do tomorrow.

It's a small world.  Sort of makes you wonder if there really
are only 9 people left on the planet using RS-232 ports on
PCs...

FWIW, I've just run across a glitch in the win32 pyserial code.
Changing the baud rate on an already open port sets RTS and DTR
back to the "default" state [and of course I need them to stay
where I put them while I change the baud rate because I'm using
them to do something completely non-standard].  

I've got a fix figured out but, but I need to clean it up a
bit.  That too will have to wait 'til tomorrow because I wasted
half the afternoon figuring out that my desktop machine had
both UARTs configured to use the same I/O range and IRQ.
