The native border router connects a TTY with an ethernet TUN device
via the RPL protocol. This works with the ../slip-radio example to permit
a Linux host to have a 802.15.4 radio connected via a serial interface.
What's on the SLIP interface is really not Serial Line IP, but SLIP framed
15.4 packets.
The border router supports a number of commands on it's stdin.
Each are prefixed by !:
!G - global RPL repair root.
!M - set MAC address (if coming from RADIO, i.e. SLIP link)
!C - show channel (if coming from RADIO, i.e. SLIP link)
!D - sensor data received
!Q - exit
Queries are prefixed by ?:
?M - just a test
?C - writes stuff to SLIP port!
?S - shows stats for SLIP port.

This project is intended to run on a mode that is connected to a native host system
by SLIP. The SLIP is really SERIAL LINE 15.4, as this just turns the mote into a smart
radio, running the RPL and 6lowpan stack on the Host. This goes with native-border-router.
