Found another one that is more reasonable cost wise. http://www.netburnerstore.com/serial_to_ethernet_p/sbl2e-100ir.htm But you need the development kit. http://www.netburnerstore.com/serial_to_ethernet_development_p/eval-sbl2e-kit.htm _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
