Is there a way to run the programs without being root?  /dev/ttyUSB0 has rw 
group permission to group dialout, and I do have permission for that group.  
Still doesn't work unless I'm root.  

In principle, I should be able to have my way with the hardware if I have at 
least rw group permissions, no?
