TO DO & Wish List (Whenever I can get the time to do it).
---------------------------------------------------------

15.	Implement/Embed the Serial Sniffer onto a AVR platform for dedicated
	use as a field diagnostic tool.
 
14.	Implement other types of serial interfaces to capture (RSxxx, USB).

13.	MultiChannel Concurrent capture (a sortof multi-modem status monitor).

12.	Real Time Linux - Implementation for accurate timing/data capture.

11.	Web Interface using JMX, and a Java FrontEnd.

10.	Pattern Matching/Substitution & Pattern Triggers Plugins.

9.	Type 2 Plugin API.

8.	A Gnome Graphical Front End.
	(in development)

7.	A KDE 3 Graphical Front End.
	(in development)

6.	Allow the monitoring of modem status lines in real time
	and provide a newer user filter to watch these changes.
	(in development)

5.	Fix known filter bug (missing last byte in output).
	(Completed in release 0.6)

4.      Command line switches to select user definable parameters.
        (Completed in release 0.7)

3.	Fix up the file write to capture all piped user formatted data
	correctly to the output file. (Completed in release 0.5)

2.	Make the user_format section more flexible in its customisation
	Possibly, allowing for the user to set their own character
	recognition. (Completed in release 0.5)

1.	Make the user_format and the piper process a "filter" so that
	other filters can be applied in unix pipe fashion. This will
	make the program more usefull and much more flexible for users.
