Credits
Most of the original Serial-HOWTO was written by Greg Hankins. mailto:gregh@twoguys.org . He also rewrote many contributions by others in order to maintain continuity in the writing style and flow. He wrote: ''Thanks to everyone who has contributed or commented, the list of people has gotten too long to list (somewhere over one hundred). Special thanks to Ted Ts'o for answering questions about the serial drivers.'' Approximately half of v2.00 was from Greg Hankins HOWTO and the other half were additions by David Lawyer. Ted Ts'o has continued to be helpful. In Jan. 2006 "Charles Brockman" found many typos (which I fixed).
