We use 9 bit data RS485 (the ninth bit is used as an address mark so=20
microcontrollers can sleep until it turns up then check if it's addressed t=
o=20
it and go back to sleep).

I have been told it could be implemented as a line discipline but I am not =
so=20
sure (since to do 9 bit transmition you need to change between mark & space=
=20
parity on a byte by byte basis)

We (well msmith originally) implemented it as a cut down hacked up copy of =
sio=20
=2D this IS suboptimial so I think I'll have a look at implementing it via=
=20
uart.

=2D-=20
