Hi again,

I found an old mail from December 2001 where Thedore Roth have already
discussed
this item, but thats the last thing i found :-(

To modify the sources to use uart is really no problem, this is only
patching some lines.
This should be optional, so we can use parallel port dongle or rs232. OK,
now 
we need some help in modifieing the sources to work with actual gdb's. The
last
patch for gdb is included in main tree of gdb now? No longer need to patch
or?
Can Theadore give some instructions or spend some time :-))))) in doing this
project.
Sorry, but I really know nothing about underlaying protocols in gdb.

Thanks a lot
    Klaus
