Conceptually, you probably don't want to clear the screen for new serial
connections (makes problem analysis hard -- imagine talking over the
phone to a casual user and asking "What kind of connect message did you
get?").

Probably the right thing to do is issue "\027e" at the bottom of the
loop, after the point where a serial line would be dropped.
