[The boards I work with all have a UART _on the CPU chip_, so it's pretty cheap to give them a serial connection, and many of them have a network connection because it's needed -- but none of them have USB... Even if you're talking about just PCs, most of the PCs I use are slightly old, and don't have USB; maybe I'm just from mars or something, but it's always kind of annoying to see people talking as if USB were universal...] -Miles -- 80% of success is just showing up. --Woody Allen - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
