Thanks for that, I admit that I found what was on the wiki confusing: 
it's never clear what's obsolete and what's merely incomplete.

So I think that what you're saying is that both approaches are still 
viable, but you favour the first.

For anybody else following this saga, I've now talked to the vehicle and 
the utility I'm using appears to run at 600 bps, not 800 so I'm probably 
not going to have to modify serial.pp. But some of the results are a bit 
odd and the author's had to use a lot of carefully tweaked timings which 
suggests that something's not quite right... 750 Baud, anybody? :-)
