Well, yes, perhaps. I wrote "Falcon" though, not "Afterburner". On a
straight Falcon NetBSD serial routines (or NetBSD in general) works
better, than Linux/68k. Just because the straight Falcon, I think, is too
slow for Linux/68k, or, in other words, Linux/68k needs a faster machine
than a Falcon to show its possibilities. Because MiNT is mainly used on
normal STs, Falcons and TTs, I still think that we should get serial
routs from BSD, if possible, rather than from Linux.
