Due to its enormous usefulness to those who need it, we (ASDG) 
provide both a ser: and aux: clone with the Dual Serial Board. These
handlers both support complete command line serial parameter specification,
like so (using Darren's example):

	Open("Joey:9600" , MODE_OLDFILE)       or just as easily
	Open("Joey:19200/8N1/32000" , MODE_OLDFILE) etc.

We also support two levels of defaults for filling in the serial parameters
which were not specified on the command line.
