>/dev/midi00 behaves like a std serial device except athat it runs

not true. /dev/midiNN does not support any (or certainly not most) of
the serial-specific ioctl's that can be used to configure a real
serial port. i've seen some amazing code that attempt to set the
VBREAK character for the MIDI port :) duh ...

also, the buffering of the OSS /dev/midi device is completely
different from that done by the serial driver. its also not very good :)

as ever: use ALSA.
