Sorry to keep posting and semi side tracking the post here but this i posted above is semi wrong. SO in case someone else is trying to glean useful information off of my post here. What I mean is that using Windows as a host system, an FTDI serial<->USB or similar device will present its self as a COM( serial ) device in hardware manager. puTTY can also communicate using this serial connection ( but not all ssh clients can ). I think Paralax made a similar app for Windows that does communicate via serial only. I probably had 500 other things on my mind the time i made this post. Sorry about that. But points #1, and #2 are still valid.
