+**** detangle TIOCMIWAIT and RFC2783
+
+Currently, the code for RFC2783 seems to depend (logically) on
+TIOCMIWAIT support.  However, RFC2783 (and really, no standard)
+defines TIOCMIWAIT, and NetBSD (and probably FreeBSD) do not implement
+it.  So, there really should be two separate implementations, one that
+works with TIOCMIWAIT (and thus only on Linux and OpenBSD) and one
+that assumes only RFC2783 (and thus works on Linux, FreeBSD and
+NetBSD, as well as any future system that complies with RFC2783 and
+uses the serial port for time_pps_init).
