Well, I've been meaning to figure out how to write driver processes
anyway.  

So far writing an Erlang driver is very different from writing
extensions to other languages like Perl and Python.  Once it sunk in
that there's a single message queue to communicate to the port driver
process it all became much easier to understand.
