Thanks Rob.
  Yes I ended up with a read(1) and use a field count and a few other checks to 
make sure I don't get a partial record. Serial is the "best of times and worst 
of times". Sure beats dealing with USB enumeration, power hungry ethernet 
processors and a lot of other stuff. I can still "see" serial on my o'scope 
which is always nice and I don't see it going away any time soon at least in 
the laboratory.

Python has been a bit of a chore-seems like a lot of verison/rev 
inconsistencies. At any rate I am going to stick with it. I used PERL in the 
past but I covet the stats packages and a few other things I lost when I left 
matlab and  I want to try for chemometrics work.

cheers
