I would like to have an AUX:-style handler that could handle multiple
serial ports and have (user-programable) timeouts on reads. I'm working
on one, but I would rather spend the time doing other code.  I heard there
was a device in the UUCP distribution that had timeouts on reads -- 
can somebody summarize more info so's I don't have to download gobs to
find out it's not what I want?  THANKS!   -- Darren
