Thanks for the information. Do you know what is would take to implement
the threading support for eCos? I eventually need to get threads,
sockets, and the javax.comm API for serial ports working. I know that
the serial stuff is not included, and I am working on a port for that.
Are sockets supported for eCos?

Thanks again for your help
