Regarding sending, there still is a FiFo (usually some 4..64 Bytes ) in
the serial hardware (hundreds or thousands of bytes) and a software Fifo
in the OS driver. So the software can't tell when something has left the
serial port. For such deeply embedded issues the specifics of the
driver and hardware needs to be considered
