What would be great is if someone wrote a device that took serial port requests but talked through DNET. So you could have multiple units be separate DNET connections and use _any_ program that allows you to specify the serial device name you want to use (which is more prevalent now that there are multi-serial cards). This would allow the use of VLT, for example. But now I could run multiple terminal programs! It would be awesome! No chance I'll do it, I don't know enough about devices. Someone who knows how device works and has written a serial device should be able to do this in no time flat. :-) Heck, I'd be willing to try it if I had the source to a serial device. The programming aspects don't bother me, it's the figuring out of the device that I don't feel like doing on my own.
