konsole is a great terminal emulator; however, it would be Really Nice[TM] to be able to use it not just to execute a command but to open serial ports (and other existing tty devices.)

konsole features almost everything one would want already; the only things really missing are tty configuration (device, baudrate, flow control, and other termios settings), handling of an appearing/disappearing port (as can happen with especially USB ports when the target is powered on or off), and the ability to send BREAK and hangup. Finer control of DTR and RTS (when not used for flow control) is a Nice To Have, but hardly critical.

Thank you for all your work.
