[Xastir] comport under andlinux

[Wes Johnston, AI4PX]

My serial port is indeed a "real" serial port.  However, on the odd chance
that my it might be "faked" on my motherboard like some laptops do, I tried
ttyUSB0, no luck.... that locked up andLinux which finally shut itself down
after 5 minutes.

I installed minicom and set it up for correct baud rate and port.  Tried
with ttyS0, acts the same as xastir. Seems to open the port but nothing sent
received.

I think I'm going to carry this over to the andlinux forum b/c this doesn't
seem xastir related.
