Has anyone modified serial.c to handle 9-bit serial communications??  9-bit
serial communications is basically where the parity bit is always low,
expect on a few chosen bytes, ie address bytes.  Basically the address
bytes may be used to designate the start/stop of a packet of data.  Very
useful in embedded microcontroller networks.  We want to use linux to
communicate with a network of micros using a 9-bit protocol.

Thanks for any help/advice!
