thanks! 
When i've made this , what should I do to build the gnu tools with the new 
file? I've tried to add ser-sim.c to configure.in (which is my file) in the 
line : SER_HARDWIRE = " ser-tcp.o ser-unix.o ser-pipe.o" , but eventhough I 
wrote SER_HARDWIRE = " ser-tcp.o ser-unix.o ser-pipe.o ser-sim.o",and then 
runned configure the makefile remains unaltered at this point(ser-sim.o , 
nowhere, the other yes). What I'm doing wrong? These ser-* files seems a 
little bit strange to me, because they're not included in any other file, so I 
thought that the only relation with the rest of gnu comes by the configure 
file. 

Where could I get an FSF assignment?

Thanks again!
Miguel.
