[ale] Monitoring the serial port

[Charles Shapiro]

Hey, the friend was me. slsnif is awesome stuff. You run it  on another
VTerm, and it sets up a pseudo tty which your app connects to. It logs
everything coming over the pty to a text file and passes the bytes on to
the actual serial port. Easy to set up, good doc, and it worked great at
9600.   Helped a lot when I was debugging cyucon code:
