Dana,

So, you've got a Squirrel POS system on an Ethernet LAN connecting to a
UniData system on a (presumably different) Ethernet LAN and you're
trying to connect them via serial ports?

Wouldn't a LAN-level [router] connection be easier?

Then you could try some XML, or HTTP, or sockets programming.
Or even BCI and stuffing data into / snatching data out of the Squirrel
database.

Gotta be more fun than serial ports, even if not quite as 'cool' as
UniObjects!

;-)


Worth thinking about?


Mike

This is part of an effort to interface with a Squirrel POS system. The
tty
port connects to a Systech brand "serial port server". It's a box that
sort
of converts serial to Ethernet. It has an IP address that is known by
the
Squirrel server.

(And to think, some people get to play around with UniObjects and other
cool
things!)
