    See the terminal driver section of the I/O User's Guide and see
    the OpenVMS Programming Concepts manual; these manuals will contain
    the information necessary to access a serial port from OpenVMS.
    (It is also possible to use language-specific I/O calls and/or RMS,
    but the sys$qio and sys$qiow serices are the most flexible and
    powerful means of accessing a serial device.)
