How about stat'ing the path and doing the right thing depending on whether it is a device or a socket? Alternatively, how about new syntax instead? "target remote /path" has meant to open a serial device since forever. However there's also syntax like "target remote udp:host:port". So maybe "target remote socket:/path"? Tom
