CreateFile, more likely. I don't need TAPI to communicate with a device over
a direct serial link.
But I still don't get it. In your design, a stream is created by an address,
which is created by a network. And once I have a stream, I can get back the
address and the network. So, which address and which network create the
serial stream? Is it a special kind of stream that is network and address
independent?
