I also agree about using two ports on the same DUART.  The big problem I
had was having a terminal on one port and trying to kermit out another
port to a unix system.  No characters were lost, but often a character
was not send until another chacter was hit.  That made it very unusable
to talk to a screen oriented editor and many other things.  Also, bpt
would not get me back to the monitor.  Did anyone have that work for them?
