There exists a driver for this, including a COM-port over LAN driver.

There also exists a "Null-driver" to presumably (after config <ctrl>I) disable functionality, and the debateable risk to security it could pose to the unsuspecting.

Archiving it doesn't mean deleting it from a pack, it just means it wouldn't be installed by default, unless one were to previously extract it (& possibly remove the null-driver equivalent) and then to recompress the DriverPack.

What do you think?  I appreciate any response, even if it takes us on a tangent.
