  32. Description:
  33.  
  34. SerialDev is a collection of block drivers for serial ports.  Block drivers
  35. allow terminal programs to access serial ports other than the standard
  36. single internal port.  Currently at least ArcTerm7 and Hearsay have support
  37. for block drivers.  Block drivers exist for the following serial interfaces:
  38. * Internal
  39. * Serial Port Dual Serial
  40. * Intelligent Interfaces Dual
  41. * Econet
  42. * PipeA and PipeB (multiple-port pipes for inter-application transfer)
