Yikes! 45 seconds?

My board might not be broken after all. I never waited 45 seconds for
output on the serial lines. Is this documented anywhere?

So, what's the serial pinout gotcha? Is it documented?

And when testing random motherboards, how long do you guys leave the 
board hooked up and running before declaring that nothing will happen?
More than 45 seconds?
