I'll give that a try when I get a chance. :)

Yes. Definately. There are probably other ways of doing that... but one
of the things we implemented was a "generic" character device... and we
tested it by having a chardev server that basically reads from a
"local" (to the server) character device, and forward it over CORBA. So
this is already implemented! :)
