A DS2480 library?

Does anyone know of a library for the Arduino for the DS2480?

Just spent weeks writing code around the Dallas and OneWire library and got it pretty good. The thing is I need the best performance over variable networks so I want to utilize the slew rate benefits of the DS2480 line driver.

The problem is of course is that the wonderful librarys of OneWire and Dallas all have direct output to the OneWire network (which I have based my project on) while the DS2480 requires a UART input (TX and RX). I have looked at commoning the RX and TX line via diodes or whatever in order to be allowed to use the same libraries (within reason) but am suspicious of the wisdom of connecting the RX and TX. A library for the 2480 would be the best solution but I may be just thinking wishfully!

Anyone have experience of this? Any help would be really appreciated before I have to go redevelop the whole kit and kaboodle!

Many thanks

I am very much in your shoes with little to show. I am getting responses using the COOL TERM program directly to the 2480, But I want the freedom of only using an arduio. I will try and see if I can document my successes and failures. Part of the issue is I want to use software serial and it is not cooperating so well in the new Arduio 1.0
