There was nothing to fix (except the documentation).  All Interactive needs
to do (short term) is prepare a two or three page addendum on ``How to
configure 386/ix for two serial ports'' and another on ``How to configure a
port for bi-directional operation.''  In the long term they need better
documentation.  And more of it.
