Yeah. RS232C can operate in many different ways, using the various "wires" differently. Opening a serial port is just the beginning of the work; then there is deciding what signals and handshake to use. Oh....the good ol' days.

That's not a bug: a daemon can then open a port and detect whenever you
plug something and switch it on.
