Not guilty in this case :-)
I think Jason is right - it is device specific. I have tested a couple 
of different devices and one needs ASCII 13 while one needs CRLF. I 
haven't actually found one that needs LF on it's own. Dar reported 
problems using anything other than LF but that has not been my 
experience, at least not since Rev 2.1 when OS X serial actually 
started to work.
