Serial port

[Justin Hart]

Thanks!  I tried minicom, but couldn't get it to unlock the port.
I'll check try this though.  Another possibility is that my intuition
that it's the serial port that's messed up is wrong, but I think that
I'm correct.  I commented out some code that was supposed to kill
processes holding the serial port under QNX.  It's on odd piece of
code.  Ported from Linux to QNX, modified, and now I'm trying to port
it back again... if that makes sense!
