With the help of William Farmer at iButtonLink.com, we now have support for 
the Link-Hub-E.

This is a Link adapter connected via ethernet.

The syntax is the same as owserver:

owfs -s 10.23.45.67:10001 /1wire

Where the ethernet address of the Link-Hub-E and port are given.

OWFS will be able to distinguish between owserver and Link-Hub-E.

Note that owserver can accept multiple connections, Link-Hub-E cannot (but you 
can use owserver to multiplex it, just like any adapter.

Some caveats:

1. Only limitted tested was done, to a Link-Hub-E at Bill's company. Reads, 
writes and directory listings all worked. I don't have one myself for 
testing.

2. I needed to introduce the concept of a network timeout (to distinguish 
between owserver and Link-Hub-E), and the timing is empiric. Long network 
latency will make the Link-Hub-E undetectable, and the default owserver will 
be assumed.

3. If the Link-Hub-E is unavailable at configuration time, owserver will be 
assumed. We may need to adjust this wit ha command line parameter. -- perhaps

owfs -s 3001 /1wire
   will be either owserver (default) or Link-Hub-E if detectable
owfs --LINKE 3001 /1wire
   will be Link-Hub-E only
owfs --owserver 3001 /1wire
   will be owserver only

But I'm open to suggestions.
