Well that's a valid entry. It just needs a connector soldered to it. :)

The lan ports are different on the different machines and IIRC the device
names indicate what they are. But I'm not sure how consistent this is. :)

I remember STiK was distributed with a proggy called listport.tos, which
lists all serial ports and displays all possible speeds. I'm not sure
whether it uses some sort of probing for this or just lists the speeds
from a table, but anyway it worked. :-)
