Personnel

gollark: Make one thread do the reading/broadcasting in a loop, make the other thread do the listening-for-modem-messages/printing in a loop.
gollark: Er, no.
gollark: It sounds like you want to run the `read`ing and `print`ing bits in parallel. Maybe look at the thread(s) library? I think that's usable for that sort of thing.
gollark: There's not really any particularly good reason I can think of to use CC non-T at this point.
gollark: Oh, yes, obviously.
