Don't count on it ... ref what I said about only Tx and Rx being available ... I don't 
like the chances of your serial cellphone working for instance as it'd probably also 
require the CD/RI lines. Unless the Actisys comes with a driver to reconstruct these 
lines (in which case you'd take a speed hit) all it'd be doing is what I mentioned in 
my essay earlier on.
