Comment (by kp3ft):
SerialConnect, or something similar in Haiku, would be greatly useful for
us at our FM radio station (and I'm sure for other stations). We've been
using BeOS with TuneTracker to run our station every day 24/7 for the last
eight years now, and will be switching to Haiku very soon. We need to
connect a piece of equipment to the Haiku computer via a serial port for
the sole purpose of logging incoming ASCII text. Presently we need to use
a separate Windows computer running HyperTerminal. The disadvantage of
SerialConnect in BeOS is that the text is not automatically written to a
text file, but requires manual copy/paste, which is a problem if there is
a power failure... all the logged text would be lost.
