Sorry for being unclear. I was referring to VICE. It would be great if 
an emulated 6551 or CMD SwiftLink or whatnot would be accessible to 
programs running on the host system. On Microsoft Windows, that would be 
called "Virtual COM port". I realize that it might require an operating 
system kernel module. For example, a regular Unix domain socket or named 
pipe may not be able to support all primitives defined in <termios.h>.

Nice to read. I think that I used a T41 back when I developed the code.
