What I think you're talking about is usually called a "line discipline": http://www.linux-mag.com/id/1891/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_discipline http://www.linux.it/~rubini/docs/serial/serial.html [Some of those links are a bit out-of-date, but should provide a good idea what a line discipline is.] Line disciplines are kernel drivers that use a well-defined API to talk to the tty/serial/uart drivers that exist at a lower layer. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
