The node is writeable, everything works via minicom. A googling reveals, 
at lest to me, that Inout_File is placed solely in the Direct_IO 
package. I will try it out later today.
I will look forward to the Inout_File/In_Out_File tale, someday.

My reasons for using Text_IO is that is a QnD way of getting the input 
protocol logic implemented, while I was fiddling around with the 
bi-directional part.
The protocol is line based ascii encoded base16 values, but the parser 
is not pretty as of this writing (the QnD part)
I agree that it should be changed to something more application specific.

I was suggested to use POSIX.IO, but this is, from my point of view too 
system specific for my primitive application.
