We do serial differently.

[Zaphod Beeblebrox]

How does FreeBSD do serial differently than Linux or MacOS or Windows?

Now... this isn't _exactly_ serial, but the serial that is emulated by the
arduino driver in ports.

The issue is that running the arduino IDE works (and it boots with the
loaded code), but then running 'pronterface'  fails to connect --- looking
all-the-while like one-way communication.

I see someone else basically having the same problem and claiming that
hacking a trace (that affects the DTR response) on the arduino fixes it for
FreeBSD (see https://plus.google.com/+MiroslavPrymek/posts/6TDdbuoNhzH )...

Given this information, can I stty my way out of this problem?  Can I make
a small modification to pronterface?
