Not to mention a PC with a real hardware serial port is how much consumer software is tested. --Original Message-- From: Hal Murray Sender: time-nuts-boun...@febo.com To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement ReplyTo: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Re Serial Port Server Sent: May 22, 2012 1:16 PM bdsy...@yahoo.com said: > I would not recommend building up a computer with numerous serial cards, as > this solution is not as flexible.

[time-nuts] Re Serial Port Server
Serial Port Servers provide many advantages over serial port cards installed in a computer. More than one computer on the network can access a serial port, though not simultaneously, and access can occur over a wireles network. Two serial port servers I have and use are the Digi Portserver TS 16 and the Comtrol Devicemaster. Each of these Serial Port Servers utilize an ethernet connection, are 1 rack unit (RU), appear as installed serial ports on each installed computer, have 16 serial ports, and require no installed operating system. These can be obtained at reasonable prices on auction sites. I would not recommend building up a computer with numerous serial cards, as this solution is not as flexible. ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
