  A few months ago I was writing a term program for the Amiga and noticed
that while it worked fine with serial.device, I had to modify the code to
work with modem0.deivce.. I believe it assumed you reset the io_Length
field to 0 or some such.. Also when I used modem0.device, there was a net
memory loss of 24 bytes.  Not really worth worrying about, but both sloppy
programming mistakes..
