- This is the one, Peter; sorry I didn't give you credit.

- In all fairness, the code is almost entirely Mr. Honeyman's, with only
- minor changes by Mr. Theisen (to better support PC serial cards, as I
- recall). I also added in my own changes, because a floating
- carrier-detect line on an attached terminal was causing serial I/O to
- hang on the port.*
-
- Anyhow, I certainly sould have mentioned Peter Honeyman, because even
- though his name isn't at the top of the RCS changelogs anymore, it
- certainly appears next to most of the changes!

- *This involved a slight hack to only check the status of the carrier
- detect line when an MSR interrupt was received.
