Credits
The following is only a rough approximation of how this this document was created in the year 2000: About 1/4 of the material here was lifted directly from Serial-HOWTO v. 1.11 (1997) by Greg Hankins. mailto:gregh@twoguys.org (with his permission). About another 1/4 was taken from that Serial-HOWTO and revised. The remaining 1/2 is newly created by the new author: David S. Lawyer mailto:dave@lafn.org. Since 2000 much more has been added by the current author so that little remains of the modem coverage in the old Serial-HOWTO.
