[ good info about serial ports deleted ]

I do recall a discussion recently where someone posted text from the
maintainer of the Linux kernel's serial port code that essentially
said that cua* devices were no longer really supported, and that you
should always use ttyS* when possible.

I was having some trouble with cua* at the time (for dialout), and
sure enough, switching to ttyS* fixed the problem.
