Removing the namespace stuff from the .h file allows it to compile. (And don't forget the closing accolade from the namespace stuff).

Since it is fairly hard to run out of UART's on an mbed I guess this was never made by anyone. A very quick scan of his library doesn't show anything like an interruptIn, so I guess receiving won't work yet.

Thank you

If there a library that uses regular Serial, simply import SoftSerial and replace the old Serial statements with SoftSerial. (And include SoftSerial in the libary).
