It looks like I was wrong about that. I don't use termios, but I
thought I had seen documentation and code which showed the first
serial port in a BSP was /dev/ttyS0 (as it is in Linux), but while
looking for something else, I found a PC386 based code reference which
says otherwise.

Sorry for the misinformation.

Simon.
