- Interestingly enough the SerialUtils module appears to be needed only on
- older hardware. Everytime we have tried serial programs out they have worked
- fine without the module on A4000s, A30x0, A5000s and A4 machines. But A3000s
- and older machines needed the module to work properly. I am curious to know

- either that or I'll have to disassemble it sometime... (curiosity kills the
- cat... :) )
