Usability of System.Posix.Terminal

I was wondering if there are any applications that make use of
System.Posix.Terminal?  I'm trying to write some code to communicate
over a serial port, and am trying to figure out how these functions
are intended to be used.

There are a bunch of 'with...' and 'without...' functions, but I'm not
sure how to easily combine them to modify some terminal attributes.
The best I've come up with is:

  flip withoutMode IgnoreBreak .
  flip withoutMode InterruptOnBreak .
  flip withMode LocalMode .
  flip withInputSpeed B9600 $ originalMode

and so on.  Am I missing something here?

Thanks,
David Brown
