You'll probably need to use the SrmControl API for this starting with Palm OS 4.0 (or 
is it 3.5... I'd have to check). This is because the old SerControl API library does 
not "blindly" pass on all selectors to the SrmControl API. We'll be retiring the 
SerControl compatibility layer at some point soon, since it's becoming more and more 
difficult to support it as the serial comms architecture changes, so this might be a 
good opportunity to make the switch.
