+
+The current version of this module exploits the stdin / stdout pipe functionality and 
+task integration that is now build into the NodeNMCU Lua core. 
+
+There are two nice advantages of this core implementation:
+
+-  Errors are now written to stdout in a separate task execution.
+-  The pipes pretty much eliminate UART and telnet overrun.
+
+Both have the same interface if required into the variable `telnet`
+
