ISTR coming across that IP module; are you sure
that it only supports a single serial protocol,
instead of just a "small" variety" (multi)?
Unless the hardware only supports one protocol,
my point holds.

I wasn't implying that modules named SSP have
more in common than tending to support
more than a single serial protocol.  If they
only support one, they get names like"USART"
or sometimes CODEC.
