But we're given the "ioctl()" routine which performs many serial I/O
functions.  Mark Jawad and myself have been trying to get some sort
of Yaroze/PC communications program going to no avail.  The header file
for "ioctl()" isn't very helpful and the green reference manual doesn't
say much either.

I assume since we're given that function then we should be able to use
it.  As such it would cool if we could get questions answered about
serial I/O.
