There you go, I _thought_ I had already used the unix port from inside a 
VM to communicate with the guest OS (which means it is visible to the 
outside network). Even so, I quite like the idea of the other driver as 
it is more straightforward (and bridge-utils aren't necessary). Is there 
any advandage of the tun/tap over the raw socket approach?
