OK. I'm open to suggestions! Don't forget that you can just symlink any
name you want to the AV devices (which is how I run the Linux InfraRed
Control apps)... Still, we might as well set a standard now. I suppose
we could call them something like:
uart, rtscts0, dtrdsr0, ir, rtscts1, dtrdsr1.
Unfortunately, this still has numbers in it. We could always use 'x' for
external and 'i' for internal... Anybody got any better ideas?
Cheers!
