[Xastir] comport under andlinux

[Richard Polivka, N6NKO]

Ok, that's not it.

Is your serial port hardware or a USB dongle? If a dongle, look at 
/dev/ttyUSB0.

If you have minicom, jump pins 2 and 3 on the port and see if you get 
data back on your port.  At least this would see if linux is seeing the 
port and able to use it.
