*ROFL* * 1024^gazillion ;/

I have what is essentially a "USB->Serial" - "Serial->USB" Cable.
Ethernet is *NOT* involved - though there are topological similarities.
Multiple people keep telling me that I should use THIS/THAT/OTHER 
solution inspite of *FACT* I have found them unsatisfactory!

There is a MAJOR side benefit.
As I am not using a canned solution, I am learning much about what 
happens in the background.

If THEY want canned one-size-fits-all 'solutions', move to windoze!

Get idea I'm frustrated?
I ask "How to bake a cake?"
I'm told "Go drive a Ford."

I find it offensive!

[I'm given a plethora of solutions to 'problems' I DON'T have ... ]
[ *NOT* solutions to problems I *DO HAVE* ! ]

In the future please answer the questions I *DO* ask, NOT what you 
wished I asked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
