I only partially agree with Michael here: of course, the clean solution 
is to use a kernel driver - that will guarantee you compatibility with 
future versions of the BeOS.
*But* for testing purposes, and for the initial development stage 
(proof-of-concept, etc.) it's great to be able to do that stuff in a 
userland application.
