The garbage text might be an indicator that the 115.2k baud mode isn't
working on your setup.  Either because of a bad connection or
interference, or because your SSC just doesn't like that mode.  At any
rate, it seems necessary to make a few more things configurable so that
we can step down the speed and do some additional testing.  At 19200
baud, it will probably work (requiring some reprogramming to support
that of course), but it will be 6x slower.  Still, better than nothing.
 I need to take a step back and re-address the lower-case stuff as well
and be more sensitive to that.  Hopefully I can get some code changes
in and test it this weekend (albeit against a //e).
