Adding a BNS

Since I think that others may benefit, I'm posting this on list. First, speakup works with the bns's default serial configuration, so you don't need to change a thing if that's what you're referring to.

As for transfering files between the bns and your gnu/linux box, first, you obviously cannot use the bns as a synth, and transfer files to and from it at the same time. Having said that, I've found that minicom does the job very well. Although, since I happen to own pcdisk, I have switched to using that along with dosemu once I got dosemu to work with my serial ports. I find that pcdisk runs under dosemu very nicely as well.
