I think there are two things missing from the gs2_vfd manpage:

* A description of modbus register settings needed on the GS2.  This 
document probably has most of the info, but it should also be in the 
manpage: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/examples/gs2_example.html

* The pinout of the RJ-12 "Serial Comm Port" on the GS2.


A patch against 2.6 would be very welcome.  Let me know if i can give 
you any help with it.  :-)
