+# ModemWorks modules for the KEGS emulator.
+
+OMM Module stubs for the Port Tool (serial driver) and Modem Tool (modem driver).  Actual implementation is handled in KEGS.
+
+KEGS works fine with the normal Modem and SerialGS modules. *However*, that means KEGS has to emulate the serial hardware, the telnet
+protocol, and the Hayes AT command set.  Using a custom Modem/Serial Module bypasses most of that and we can just use TCP sockets directly.
+
+(Currently, inbound connections are via TCP server but outbound connections create a pseudo terminal to run bash, etc directly).
