 While we're on this topic, is there any way of getting the serial
device to send a message or a signal when the status of the carrier
drops? I'd rather not rely on the modem sending me some characters
when this happens.  Is setting up a timer message to ping the program
every so often so it can go off and check the approved way of doing
this?
