Serial This exposes a tty style serial line interface, usable with Minicom and
similar tools. (There's no serial console support at this time.) Most Linux
hosts can talk to this using the generic usb-serial driver. The latest versions
of this driver implement the CDC ACM class, as might be implemented by
cell phones or other modems. This driver works with the MS Windows
usbser.sys driver, the Linux cdc-acm driver, and many other USB Host
systems.

Windows 2000 and XP are undocumented.) Use the Documentation/
usb/linux.inf file (convert to DOS CRLF format) to install the driver.
The driver is bundled in XP and the URL in linux.inf says where to get
