If you want to let multiple programs access the same serial port, this can be done with software
like LP-PAN. But there's no addressing in serial port comms, so PC pull works better than device
push. When a client of LP-PAN polls, LP-PAN can forward the reply to this client. When the K3
broadcasts, LP-PAN can either suppress the message or forward it to all clients and hope they
don't get confused.
