Re: [coLinux-devel] coSerial driver

[Digital I. Inc. <ok...@di...>]

Hello Erley.


Good. but what you use it for?
For an internet connection, I think Windows NAT function is enough.
Maybe "coUSB device" is more interesting,
because USB<->serial convert cable is very cheap.
(But I dont know what to use this driver also ;-)

anything for windows that you could want to communicate with a linux program.
