The network version of PC-Xinu, which incorporates all the code and
features of both Volume I and Volume II of Comer's "Operating System
Design" books, includes an interrupt-driven device driver for SLIP
(Serial Line IP) packets for point-to-point network connections.  This
driver can clearly be modified to serve as a low-level terminal driver
as well.  Send mail to fossum@vacs.uwp.wisc.edu if you would like
information about ordering a copy of PC-Xinu Net.
