Ah, now the *real* trick would be to replace the dongle with a
USB-but-really-serial port to allow for direct USB connection. :) Sort
of a reverse USB->serial, stashed in the case itself.
Anyone? (I doubt there's enough room in there, but I thought I'd
throw it out there... the serial connection would still be the same
internally, so no changes would have to be made software wise to the
Newt. It would just move the USB->serial converter inside for one less
dongle.)
