[ale] Wanted: trivial minicom-type function

[Christopher Fowler]

Create a config file for each port that describes its termios settings:

Write a very simple network -> serial port piece of software.

Then use termios to setup the serial port correctly and use select() to
pass data from the tty to the socket and back again.
