I think it would only be a problem if the system was on standby power and
you twiddled the line. This could be a problem is a system rebooted and
serial PnP probing from the kernel shut the machine off. I know the APC
UPS's I've used WILL NOT turn off the power if the UPS is running off AC.
If this is wrong I'd like to know so I could fix the mouseconfig tool
to ask the user before banging on the serial port.
