The -h0 is necessary for when one can't implement the control lines
(DCD in particular) as in my condition where my serial port cable goes
into a 9600 baud current loop converter and off into the nether regions
of the basement where lurks Swrinde - our monstrous Sun fileserver.
Two TX lines, two RX lines.  No handshake.

Yep. You know, Dnet is the second most useful piece of software I use.
I think it's about time I sent Matt a donation - I think I remember
him stating in his documentation that he wouldn't turn it down :^)

(Gotta add enough filler to get Postnews to accept this thingy)
