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
