In addition to SSH2 and Telnet the app should support serial port communication.

This has been requested by multiple users via Windows Store reviews and/or e-mails.

Not sure if this is supported in Windows Store Apps but I will investigate.

A quick search shows that while it is apparently not possible to use "native" serial ports for communication it should indeed be possible via USB-to-serial devices:

However, in UWP there seems to be a new, specialized namespace for this:
