Quite simple really, uucico simply does a couple of ioctl calls, first to
get the port parameters which it will save in one structure. then it will
modify them to suit its needs and do another ioctl call to set the new
parameters on the port. On exit it will normally reset the port to the
state it found it in upon entry.
