Hello,

I have an application that I'd like to leverage some common code if at
all possible (and/or necessary), using concepts of client/server,
reader/writer, and so on.

Probably also TCP/IP and/or Serial, although I gather Asio has a
serial class ready to go out of the box? Serial is pretty much a "no
brainer", can be a server, but to talk to devices in our use case,
always the client, can be either reader or writer or both.

The key question here is, do we need a separate io_service for serial
as well as for TCP?

Regards,

Michael Powell
