                     13: #   includes TD/RD/DTR/DSR/RTS/CTS/CD/RI.
                     14: #-  Is there a group status register so that individual parts do not have

                     16: #-  Is there provision in hardware for dealing with limitations of the

                     18: #   Comtrol offer this.

                     20: #-  What sort of cables and connectors are provided with the board?
                     21: #-  Are UART parts socketed?
                     22: #-  Is documentation intelligible and complete?
                     23: #-  Is technical support helpful, and readily available?
