Yes, was I unclear, or were you pointing out spelling errors?

Oh but I can't, I dream of such things to come.

Actually, it doesn't. Maybe you should do some research before thrashing
someone's post, yes?

tty0tty + tcpser coded into a CUSE application would probably do the job.

Oh, I'm sorry ... you never heard of CUSE, it's like FUSE, but for character
devices in user space; in other words, NOT in the Kernel space, but rather in
User space.

One major advantage of user space stuff, like FUSE, is that you don't need to
become a Kernel driver.

But of course, you already knew that.
