I haven't used this particular model. I have used similar units from
Systech, purchased on eBay for less than $30 US. They work quite well.
Some of them have selectable RS-232/RS-485 outputs. I've successfully
used both types of outputs.
The only problem I've had was the initial configuration. The trick is
to configure the serial ports as a "Reverse Telnet" server.
Search eBay for "terminal server". You can also search the Time Nuts
list, they were discussed a few years ago.

I have been contemplating how I will would like to interface to the
KS-23461 devices using rs-422.
One option is a rs-422 to USB cable. Seems easy enough.
But another option I keep stumbling across is a rs-422/rs-232 to fast
ethernet such as:

Frankly, I have no first hand knowledge or experience with these
devices. First glance suggests that it might just be what I want - easy
access to the KS-23461 ports through a connection to my local network
without having a PC of some sort close by.
So, any first hand experience with such devices? Good idea or bad?
