	Hi Andy, from a guy who is somewhat thankful for never having seen  
himself in the need of setting up a serial device before ;-)

	I'm not in any way new to screen, but I wouldn't say either that I'm  
a heavy user. I go as far as remapping some of my bind keys, but the  
other day I had some trouble scrolling up and down a screen  
buffer ;-) In searching the net I've seen that all I'd need to try to  
start a connection is the serial device as a command line argument,  
but how would I go about setting up the various connection parameters  
I might need (baud rate, parity, data width, etc.)? Something through  
stty?
