Sio serial module install problem with ActiveState

[yaipa h.]

All,

Worked like a charm for me too! I used it to develop an
automated attendant for a Serial Oven Controller. The 
attendant ran from Sparc Solaris using Python 2.1 and pySerial.

The only weird thing, which I didn't get a chance to 
debug, was a perfectly working script under RS-232
got terribly out of sync when R/W I/O to a RS-485
serial network.  Any reason why that would be?

Thanks, just a bit of trivia if the boss wants me
to revisit it again.
