    Directing output to local computer's ports

    We're "finishing" a port from DOS/Windoze Clipper to Linux xHarbour
    (xBase-to-C pre-processor).

    One of the issues with the apps in this port involves running POS
    workstations using ssh through a VPN tunnel to a remote server.
    Everything works really well, except that we need to be able to send
    output to local ports (ttyS* and/or lp*... soon, no doubt, to usb
    ports as well) for customer display, coin changer, bill changer,
    receipt printer, cash drawer (usually daisy-chained from receipt
    printer), mag-stripe & smartcard encoder, electronic scale, etc.

    Can anyone point me towards resources with examples... _simple_
    examples for simple minds! ;)
