serial comms error with smsclient >2.6.25 , worked fine up until and
including 2.6.24.7

smsclient a command line client for sending sms's, worked fine for all
previous versions but as of 2.6.25, I get errors "waiting for ACK" this
has been confirmed as a kernel related error, smsmclient worked fine for
years, carrier (Telstra) has been very helpful with assisting in
debugging, confirms no change, error kernel related verified by rolling
back to kernel 2.6.24.7, as of 2.6.25 something in the serial comms area
was altered and broke smsclient ability to send SMS's, it will connect
but not login to send, with timeout waiting for ID, been working on this
for weeks and again its confirmed to some change in the kernel versions
mentioned. Only changes made were kernel upgrades.

Slackware 12.0, kernel from kernel.org, same .config file copied
through all upgrades, GCC version 4.1.2
