General

=======

+ Hardware flow control is not currently supported.  Some of the chip

  drivers (in particular the z8530) have support for hardware flow control

  but this has not been tested in the libchip context.  There will need

  to be a way to totally disabled hardware flow control which is not

  currently in this.

+ "ulClockSpeed" configuration item field to become a pointer to a table

  of chip specific information.  For example, the z8530 should specify

  clock speed and clock divisor setting.

+ A termios structure should be included to specify  the initial settings.

  Right now all drivers default to 9600, 8N1.

+ Need to switch to passing pointers rather than a minor number to

  functions which are strictly internal to each chip driver.  This

  should be a performance win.

+ Need a test which prompts you for termios settings and tests them.  Until

  this happens, testing for the variety of settings possible will be limited.

  This test should be able to test any serial port while prompts come to the

  console.
