[En-Nut-Discussion] NutOS Unix emulation status?

[Alain M.]

IMHO a packet based interface will make debugging more realistic. Some 
problems could get hidden by the wrapper and can make the whole debug 
not very usefull. Speed is not an issue because the PC is allways much 
faster.

I vote for packet interface.
