It has an internal UART which *can* generate the right framing, except that
in order for USB to work you have to clock it high enough that the UART won't 
run at TTY speeds. I actually generate the characters (and decode, for that 
matter) with a state machine in an interrupt routine that can be clocked 
anywhere from 0.24 baud to hundreds of Kbaud.
