FW: [Xastir] Mac OS X + USB Serial

[Jeff, WY7Q]

Curt, I ran into this too when I used OS X and a USB serial port.  The
fix was to use /dev/cu.usbserial0 as the port.  Might want to consider
putting something into CVS.

Thanks much, that seemed to work just fine. I guess I just never
scrolled back up that far when I did an ls in /dev so I didn't see any
of the cu.* items... I just found it odd that it worked fine in minicom,
but not Xastir.

Thanks again! :)
