[erlang-questions] UNIX streams and Erlang ports

[Vance Shipley]

I wrote a linked in driver for a STREAMS based device driver(*)
a few years ago.  The interface was quite elegant IMHO.  At the
time I thought about seperating the generic STREAMS handling
into it's own driver module so it could be generally reused
however that didn't turn out to be all that practical.
