it doesn't echo when you type commands at it - the simplest test is:

- run minicom on the device
- type the collowing commands:
- cmdo (lowercase o)
- cmd0 (number 0)
- cmdO (uppercase O)

you should get a screen full of noise

using it is likely to be the same as a Mac - we'll need to come up with a good 
way to copy data from the device to /dev/random - it may be as simple as using 
cat, or we may need to create something that is smarter about how it moves 
data (some form of flow control)
