Well ... that sort of depends. If I were to iniz my serial devices, mtsmon
wouldn't sense the drop of DTR and recylcle itself upon loss of carrier. But
... the stock tsmon hasn't figured out how to do that so inizing with the stock
drivers shouldn't be a problem.

By the way ... I've not had any problem with baud rate changing on it's own.

The original comlaint I had was with the printer drivers. (I'm not using your
polled stuff ...  just the latest stock offerings from Carl).

I've found that without inizing /p, killing a print job in process and
attempting to send another job to the printer will hang the machine.
