[ace-users] Trying to adding an ACE_TTY_IO handler to the reactor.

[JR Andreassen]

Hi...
 I have some Serial IO classes that I use to read Magnetic stripe 
readers and GPS devices.
I'll send it to you if you want.
I'm only reading input(handle_input()), but it works pretty good.
Like I said last time, You won't be able to compile and run directly 
since it's dependent upon some
other library code I have.
 But, it should be a good sample/reference.
Let me know.
