RE: [coLinux-devel] coSerial driver

[<ch...@to...>]

I guess what is needed for a coKnoppix type distro is some kind of
userland network driver that is just an exe file that can take it's
configuration as args. Getting communication with the host automaticly is
esential but comunicating with the outside it would be ok to allow some
manual configuration because the circumstances will vary.
