That's right.

Originally I set out to create a re-useable class to pass the messages
between the serial port and a Hub running on the PC.
This has now evolved a bit and I am also aiming to create a re-useable
class
which can be use by PC base xAPp's to communicate with the serial port in a
common way.

The design of these is still coming together and I hope that with the help
of the people here I can make something which will be of use to others as
well as my own projects.
