Heh, this reminded me to actually test the driver. It looks like there's
an off-by-1 error in the speed setting code.  With my Mac set to 38400, I
have to set the -current box to 19200 in cu to get it to communicate
properly.  (This is testing with the F5U103 in my PC and my PowerBook with
a Keyspan adapter, connected with a null modem cable.  I run a terminal on
both ends.)

I'm debugging this and will report back shortly, unless the ubsa
maintainers want to chip in.

This is standard BSD serial device behavior.  Annyoingly, ucom does not
provide initial-setting devices and the like so you can't set a default.
It would be a nice feature to add.
