  What about remote serial ports?

DGD>         Oops, no.  CommV24 is specifically for RS-232 serial
DGD> communications under Windows.  It's nice too, with a simple
DGD> interface.  CommStreams, however, seems to be for TCP/IP, as it uses the CommTCP driver.

  What are you two talking about? CommStreams does NOT USE the CommTCP
  driver at all. And the Comm subsystem is NOT meant primarily for the
  Internet.

  A quote from the docs:
  "Module CommStreams defines the interfaces of two types: Stream and
  Listener. The interface is designed with reliable
  connection-oriented protocols in mind. Implementations of the stream
  and listener interfaces provide the actual communication channels. A
  TCP/IP implementation which internally uses a "sockets" interface is
  a typical example."

  See? CommStreams is just an interface for any kind of reliable
  connections. TCP/IP is just a typical example.

  Attached is my current version of CommV24, documentation included.
  I won't mind if Oberon Microsystems includes it in the next version
  of the BlackBox distribution.
