Does anyone know more about the hardware they're using to communicate via USB?
If it's something like a standard PL2303 it shouldn't be too hard to talk to
on systems

Well, I was thinking about what the min-privilege such a device
would need. Even though most folks will probably just end up running
this code as root, in theory the driver needs to be able to only do
a few things:
* talk to the USB

Right, but you still need a driver on the host to provide the virtual serial
port, e.g. FTDI's virtual COM port (VCP) or Prolific's
