Hi John,

You're welcome, thanks for the feedback! What I told Bob earlier would
apply to Linux as well; sockets are sockets for the most part. Very little
beyond the serial-port code would need to change.
So what's it written in, may I ask. Yes, if all the most complex it
gets in I/O is sockets, it should be easy to port (assuming something
like C). It could be easily ifdef'd between the two(?) OS's and BSD
should be a very similar port to Linux if it's just down to sockets.
What time frame are you looking to port, assuming you are inclined
that way? Is the source available for perusal?
Sticking to POSIX serial I/O interface should make it work on BSD, Linux
or whatever else UNIX style OS of sufficient recent vintage being used.
Should be a suitable common denominator and cause less hassle to
maintain than #ifdefs for each OS-style available on the planet (which
was the old way of dealing with portability).
Cheers,
Magnus
