Beagleboard can see Dexter's serial port!

For fun I just tried plugging Dexter into the Beagleboard and I was very happy to see that it autodetected the USB serial port. I was able to see some Dexter chatter using minicom. This was expected but is still very exciting. It validates my decision to use a USB serial port on the Dexter board instead of a traditional DB9 port (which are rapidly becoming obsolete).
