[Xastir] comport under andlinux

Sun Jun 22 13:18:38 EDT 2008

I'm not familiar with the normal output of this command, so forgive for me
not trimming it down....  FWIW, this machine is dual boot and I can talk to
the TNC from mepis as ttyS0.  My registration for andlinux forums was just
approved, I'm off to ask over there.
