I have to talk to some very primitive hardware that seems to need some more  
gap than one stop bit to work properly. Using termios is no option because  
the NeXT OS (4.2 on an P-III/500) has only the old interface. Later after all  
of the programs work, I port it to NetBSD/i386.

I need 19200 Baud, 8 Databits and 2 Stop Bits.

Any ideas? Back in the old days there was even more braindeath hardware than  
today or not?
