It's almost always save to set the serial protocol to 2 stop bits. This
really controls what the transmitter sends. Even though the UART
transmit side is sending transmit data with 2 stop bits, the UART
receive side will still happily accept data coming in from the other
end fo the link which has only 1 stop bit. And the end of the link
set for 1 stop bit will always accept data sent with more than one
stop bit - that's why it's asychronous data transmission. The stop
bit can be as long as it takes fro a human operator to type the next
key.
