What do you need to know? The device does look exactly like any old modem/terminal. Problem is they are slow. Whilst great for sending modest sized messages ('Hello World') they will not cut it for streaming video. Try hooking one up to a PC with a USB serial adapter - you'll get an idea of capabilities pretty quickly. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
