Hello everybody,

I was thinking of writing a serial port object for mac OS X, and i was 
wondering if anybody had suggestions as regards functionality (or if 
anyone is currently working on such an object!!). Although a serial 
port has limited use for macs (they don't have serial ports, instead 
you have to use a USB to serial converter) I've recently finished work 
on some code that does use the serial port in Mac OS X, so while the 
stuff is still fresh in my head it shouldn't be too hard to write one.

I'll probably use the comport object as a starting point for the 
functionality of my object, so if users of this object have anything to 
say I'd be interested.

anyway, any suggestions would be appreciated

Brian
