Changd H/W settings on the serial ports will only be seen when the appropriate
modules initialize.

So if the modules are "statically" embedded in the kernel then a restart is needed
before the kernel see the changes. If the serial support is loaded at "run time"
(i.e. as a module) then you can just unload/reload the modules.

On my serial port I have an Epson Camera, a Wacom ArtPad II and my PalmPilot (not
all at the same time of course :-) ). So it does work.

Bill.
