[ale] Wanted: trivial minicom-type function

[cfowler at outpostsentinel.com (Christopher Fowler)]

Now if you are trying to create a simple terminal emulator that is not
as complex as Minicom then take a look at this:

We use that when testing our serial ports.  The only modifications I've
made were to use getopt() instead of libpopt.  Works great.  I've also
got some code that I've written that allows pure raw mode so that you
can pass such things as xmodem, etc. sometimes command processing can
screw your transmission up.
