Not sure if is the best practice, but we override the size of the 
buffers in:

rtems-5/cpukit/libcsupport/src/termios.c:87

|static size_t rtems_termios_cbufsize = 1024; static size_t 
rtems_termios_raw_input_size = 1024; static size_t 
rtems_termios_raw_output_size = 1024; This overrides the raw input and 
output and the cooked buffer. Hope this helps. regards, Ian Caddy Goanna
