Is there something we can trigger on to know that the calypso has
booted?  Can we look for a change in the serial port control lines?

I'm thinking that if we forced flow-control on, and then waited for
either a maximum amount of time (1 sec) _or_ the appearance of the GSM
interrupt that would signal that the calypso just sent its startup
message, then we could handle the case of old firmware, but optimize the
delay for the latest fixed firmware.
