ISTR coming across that IP module; are you sure that it only supports a single serial protocol, instead of just a "small" variety" (multi)? Unless the hardware only supports one protocol, my point holds.
I wasn't implying that modules named SSP have more in common than tending to support more than a single serial protocol. If they only support one, they get names like"USART" or sometimes CODEC.
