+Sredird is a serial port redirector that is compliant with the RFC 2217
+"Telnet Com Port Control Option" protocol. This protocol lets you share
+a serial port through the network. The only known RFC 2217 aware client
+is DialOut/IP V2, which is a Windows 95/98/NT client. For more
+information on it look at www.tacticalsoftware.com. Anyone interested in
+writing a client and who may need help with the RFC 2217 protocol could
+contact author of sredird. Information on RFC 2217 and the Telnet Protocol
+is available at www.ietf.org.
