+1 ... we have wasted more than enough man-hours trying to get the magic
"serial" type to play nicely. If I had it to do over, we'd never have
put that in at all. The underlying mechanisms are perfectly good ---
it's the idea that the user shouldn't need to know what they're doing
that causes problems.
