I'll be working with the RX driver for the standalone stuff soon on a project
of my own, I'll look into this then.


BTW, 'VTserver' refers to three pieces of software:

- The actual server, which runs under Unix on the 'server' machine
- A small bootstrap which downloads the main standalone program from the server
- A driver for the standalone software which adds a device which can talk to
	the server over a serial line, as one of the devices for the standalone

The standalone software is V7 code that existed before VTServer did, more
on it here:

and the RX driver is actually for that.
