Hi,
Within /etc/ser2net.conf and /usr/share/doc/ser2net/examples/ser2net.conf,
the description of the 'timeout' field is missing.
Please find attached a patch to provide this in both files. The field's
description was taken from ser2net(8).
A couple of spelling errors were also found within ser2net's README, which
this patch also corrects.
Geoff
