[hcflinux] suggestions

Hi,

I would like to point out that you should not use setserial to configure a
software modem.

This is an excerp from the HCF drivers FAQ:

---
Changing serial port parameters with "setserial" on ttySHCF0 or /dev/modem
doesn't work.

Since this modem driver provides a virtual serial interface, which is not
directly connected to a physical UART like a normal serial port, it is not
possible and would not make sense to configure it with "setserial".
Therefore you shouldn't use this command on the ports associated with this
driver. The irq and other parameters shown by "setserial" are bogus values
which have no meaning.

Regards,

Jean-Simon

Ooops!  That's bad.  No IRQ or port no. so not even worth going on with
minicom or internet connection wizard.   O.K. so do the following:
