This is a GSD/Ruby project aimed at making interfacing with advanced Generic Serial Devices easier.

The goals of this project are:

To 'handle' messaging between DCE and GSD for you in a threaded manner.
To allow multiple commands to be executed WHILE waiting for responses.

I use many terms throughout my code:  
*GSD (Generic Serial Device)
*DCE (Data Commands Events aka dcerouter)
*'Command' is the creation of a message from one source to the other. (either DCE to GSD or GSD to DCE)
*'Response' is the response from the other device (if any)

=Key Notes=
*Both GSD and DCE can send and receive data.

*Both GSD and DCE can create a 'Command'



*Both GSD and DCE can respond to a previous command with a 'Response'

* A Command may or may not require a Response.

*One Command can 'Accept' multiple responses.

*One Command can Spawn a new Command
