commented out linux driver, its causeing problems and configuation of the ttyS0 on linux it proving problamatic. not the c code for the serial but the actual port needs to beconfigured before it can be used, outside of he program. switching to windows to do all further programming and all commits will not come from svn, this is the last git commit. threading needs to be implemented as well as an ascii dump cmd. the former is straight forward but the ladder will take some time. merge with main repo will occur today.
