Well, yes and no :)

Modbus has been discussed, and I think Matt Shaver did some work on 
getting a VFD to work with EMC2.  I'll be doing something similar to 
talk to a PLC in the next month or so.  I'm not sure that I'll be able 
to make the driver work in realtime though - it may end up being 
userspace.  I think I'll be using a serial port, but if I end up needing 
ethernet, it'll almost certainly be userspace.  This driver work won't 
be specifically useful for the EMC crowd, but it should be able to 
provide a basis for something that is.

Is your VFD serial, ethernet, or something else?
