Good afternoon folks,
Currently Haiku has no serial port console application.
BeOS came with SerialConnect which won't run under Haiku due to #2161
Until a SerialConnect replacement comes around, I want to add com.c to
the default Haiku image.

com.c above is a slightly modified version of this to build under Haiku:

The code is really tiny, compiled gcc4 is 7Kb. It builds on gcc2 and gcc4.
Here is the usage:
com /dev/ports/usb0 [baud]
and a screenshot of it in use on a serial port with RTS wired to TXD:

Any disagreements on me adding this tool? It's licensed as-is.
