 If \fIfileName\fR refers to a serial port, then the specified serial port
 is opened and initialized in a platform-dependent manner.  Acceptable
 values for the \fIfileName\fR to use to open a serial port are described in
 the PORTABILITY ISSUES section.

-.SH "CONFIGURATION OPTIONS"
-The \fBfconfigure\fR command can be used to query and set the following
-configuration option for open serial ports:
-.TP
-\fB\-mode \fIbaud\fB,\fIparity\fB,\fIdata\fB,\fIstop\fR
-.
-This option is a set of 4 comma-separated values: the baud rate, parity,
-number of data bits, and number of stop bits for this serial port.  The
-\fIbaud\fR rate is a simple integer that specifies the connection speed.
-\fIParity\fR is one of the following letters: \fBn\fR, \fBo\fR, \fBe\fR,
-\fBm\fR, \fBs\fR; respectively signifying the parity options of ``none'',
-``odd'', ``even'', ``mark'', or ``space''.  \fIData\fR is the number of
-data bits and should be an integer from 5 to 8, while \fIstop\fR is the
-number of stop bits and should be the integer 1 or 2.
-.TP
-\fB\-pollinterval \fImsec\fR
-.
-This option, available only on Windows for serial ports, is used to
-set the maximum time between polling for fileevents.  This affects the
-time interval between checking for events throughout the Tcl
-interpreter (the smallest value always wins).  Use this option only if
-you want to poll the serial port more often than 10 msec (the default).
-.TP
-\fB\-lasterror\fR
-.
-This option is available only on Windows for serial ports, and is
-query only (will only be reported when directly requested).
-In case of a serial communication error, \fBread\fR or \fBputs\fR
-returns a general Tcl file I/O error.
-\fBfconfigure -lasterror\fR can be called to get a list 
-of error details (e.g. FRAME RXOVER).
