+General
+=======
+
++ Hardware flow control is not currently supported.  Some of the chip
+  drivers (in particular the z8530) have support for hardware flow control
+  but this has not been tested in the libchip context.  There will need
+  to be a way to totally disabled hardware flow control which is not
+  currently in this.
+
++ "ulClockSpeed" configuration item field to become a pointer to a table
+  of chip specific information.  For example, the z8530 should specify
+  clock speed and clock divisor setting.
+
++ A termios structure should be included to specify  the initial settings.
+  Right now all drivers default to 9600, 8N1.
+ 
++ Need to switch to passing pointers rather than a minor number to 
+  functions which are strictly internal to each chip driver.  This
+  should be a performance win.
+
++ Need a test which prompts you for termios settings and tests them.  Until
+  this happens, testing for the variety of settings possible will be limited.
+  This test should be able to test any serial port while prompts come to the
+  console.
