Hmmm... I am not sure if I trually know what I am doing here. I guess Perl popped into my head as Perl is very decent for quick demos, and I will generally jump onto perl for a quick demo purpose.

I didn't really think of how much would end up getting written in C code anyways. In short, I really didn't design much of what I would be doing :/

Please don't think I am a troll for posting this :(

As per your last question, seeing as how I have used the device for ppp based connections, I am going to guess it is a modem.

edit: already getting the old negative reputation points. Why do I always get those when I do something silly like admit I might have been foolish?
