 This enables RTS to act like DTR and CTS to act like DCD on the specified
 port.

+The ports of the EasyIO-8M board do not have DCD or DTR signals. So these
+ports cannot be used as real modem devices. Generally when using these
+ports you should only use the cueX devices.
+
+There is another new utility in this package that reports statistics on
+the serial ports. You will need to have the curses libray installed on
+your system to build it.

+To build the statistics display program type:
+    make stlstats
+Once compiled simply run it (you will need to be root) and it will display
+a port summary for the first board and panel installed. Use the digits to
+select different board numbers, or 'n' to cycle through the panels on a
+board. To look at detailed port information then hit 'p', that will display
+detailed port 0 information. Use the digits and letteres 'a' through 'f' to
+select the different ports (on this board and panel).
