Prosper Async protocol (UNIX)

Prosper Async is an asynchronous serial interface. For asynchronous communications, specify the behavior characteristics such as baud rate, number of data bits, parity, and other characteristics.

The Prosper Async protocol driver communicates by the Prosper protocol over multiple TTY devices. This contains information for managing both the input and output sides of the driver.
