The powerchute code depends on using the partial open hack to get the modem control port open nd in a state where reads and writes work, with DCD not present, then it sepends templating behaviour for port defaults (which we can sort of do using rc.local) and it sepends on bit 8 indicating modem control vs. non-modem control for uppercase vs. lowercase port association, since the lock files have to lock both ports, even though they have different names. Finally, it depends on SCO-style instead of POSIX-style (which we get wrong, IMO) processing of SIGHUP and controlling TTY assignment.
