sites: Serial Software for Linux software for the serial ports
including getty and port monitors. Serial Communications for communication programs.
irqtune will give serial port interrupts higher

may help some more.

Serial Suite by
Vern Hoxie is a collection of blurbs about the care and feeding of
the Linux serial port plus some simple programs. He also has a

A white paper discussing serial communications and multiport
