This makes it possible to change the serial baud rate without
uploading a new serial transfer program. I'm not sure how useful this
will be, but it is simple enough to add.
The client program is also substantially improved. Sincerely I do not
understand how/why this works. Experimentally, I found that feeding
the ft232h data in chunks of up to roughly 384 bytes works reliably,
both for reads and writes. Larger chunk sizes are (as expected)
faster, but the tranfers do not appear to be consistently correct in
this case.
I have no logical explanation for this. The size of the ft232h FIFO is
1K each for the transmit and receive buffer respectively.
This also enables RTS/CTS hardware flow control. Surprisingly, this
doesn't appear to affect reliability significantly.
