Description Anders Johansson 2009-04-12 00:16:24 UTC 
In 11.1, start sax2, go to tablets and configure a serial port.

The list of available serial ports is hard coded. This should be made dynamic, using something like

hal-find-by-capability --capability "serial"

Details for the connection port can then be found using other hal commands, such as hal-device, or hal-get-property

For people with just one or two serial ports, it looks nicer to only have those shown, and for people with non-standard serial ports (expansion boards etc) it makes it possible to configure things at all with sax2

SaX2 has really reached end of lifetime. There are no plans to still implement such a feature. WONTFIX. 

Feel free to reopen *IF* you can provide a patch, which implements it.
