I managed to ftp the BinkleyTerm UNIX port (or, at least, *a* BinkleyTerm
UNIX port) from somewhere in Germany.  The code is a mess:  the very first
file wouldn't compile.  I may attempt to play with it, but as my
knowledge of serial comm. under UNIX is extremely limited (well, actually
nonexistent) I probably won't get very far.  :-(
