Okay, this is interesting, these both do something:

   Insteon_PLM_serial_port = /dev/ttyS0

and

   serial_Insteon_PLM_port = /dev/ttyS1

And it appears to be very different. I'll start looking into the MH
code for handling the first. I mixed it up with the second, at least
it makes sense now why my code couldn't work.

Thanks
