Yes, it is. Thanks!

BTW, some feedback about microcom:

- the choice of ^\ as an escape charater is unfortunate since that
is usually mapped to set SIGQUIT in the tty; a btter choice would
be ^] (like telnet) or ^A (like minicom)
- typing the escape character immediate causes the menu to be displayed,
so one cannot send a break sequence for SysRq without cluttering up the screen

Would you take patches for that?
