If one can plug the BBB directly into the net and be able to access the BBB from the net, why would one want to use the RNDIS interface over USB? Does RNDIS provide some service that isn't available via an ethernet connection? Thanks in advance. Brian -- For more options, visit http://beagleb

onment or is it just as easy to build on the BBB itself? The project right now is turning the BBB into a GPS-disciplined NTP server. The plan is to have a local UTC display (I think Nixies would be cool for that classic retro look but 7-segment LED displays would be OK too and easier to drive) and
