+ 
+ Receives from the two software serial ports, 
+ sends to the hardware serial port. 
+ 
+ In order to listen on a software port, you call port.listen(). 
+ When using two software serial ports, you have to switch ports
+ by listen()ing on each one in turn. Pick a logical time to switch
+ ports, like the end of an expected transmission, or when the 
+ buffer is empty. This example switches ports when there is nothing
+ more to read from a port
+ 
+ The circuit: 
+ Two devices which communicate serially are needed.
+ * First serial device's TX attached to digital pin 2, RX to pin 3
+ * Second serial device's TX attached to digital pin 4, RX to pin 5
