I got a question asking exactly what is different.  Off the top of my head:

- When connecting, the cisco target assumes the remote end is running 
and just waits for it to stop.  The idea definitly sound. Need to 
integrate this into the current targets though.

- Some additional stop responses to do with relocations

- A telnet like command.  It relies on both ends ignoring line noise.

enjoy,
Andrew
