I have a general plan, but no point coding without a debug platform.

Can't use just RFC2783 calls.  Some way to poll the RFC2783 needs to
be used to replace the simple wait fot input that TIOCMIWAIT provides.

RFC2783 tells you what happened, but will not wake you up to tell you
something happened.

Also, most linux kernels do not have RFC2783 enabled so TIOCMIWAIT
must still be supported when available.
