Sure, I'd like to see them. Is a more formal arrangement necessary?

With respect to PML traps: Is it necessary that the kernel interface
support poll()/select()? I had an e-mail exchange with Tim Waugh a while
ago about the possiblilty of adding this to the line printer (lp)
device. He said it was trivial to add, but most parallel port devices
didn't implement the necessary behavior properly. So, I was wondering if
a poll()/select() interface was necessary (or perhaps I really mean to
say: optimal), are USB devices more likely to work properly?

Thanks,
