It all really depends on how transport independent the virus/worm is. If it uses only TCP/IP to transmit itself, and the serial link is using some other protocol, then the answer is of course no. If the worm simply expects to see "a network transport" then the answer would be yes. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
