It's a daemon that allows one to telnet or create raw connections to serial
ports. I immediately built RPMs and distributed them around the office here
because I hate using Minicom to configure switches, etc. It's also
potentially useful for debugging serial communications from software with a
little modification. We do a lot of serial stuff, so I might try some weird
setups.
The layout of the default install was kind of strange (to me, anyway), so I
changed the spec file to stick the daemon in /usr/sbin instead of /bin and
the man page in /usr/share/man/man8 instead of /man/man1. I also made it gzip
the man page.
Overall, I'm very happy with it, if you couldn't tell already. :-)*
