hm, i fail to see the point here. isn't a serial connection to the
outside world "just another link"? who cares, if it is a serial
connection or ethernet? maybe i am biased with SLIP under linux - Serial
Line IP, so the serial device really gets an ip-address and then it's
tcp/ip all the way and no application/virus would care if this is
"serial link". or is all data just sent to "com1"?

thanks,
Christian.
