RE: Fossil Driver

[Hans Otten]

A fossil driver is a program (driver is an appropiate name for it) that
hides the lowlevel details of a serial interface and gives a calling program
access to highlevel functions for the interface.
It makes it possible to write communication programs without having to worry
about what hardware is going to be used now or in the future.
