I think that would be a good solution for the future, easy to connect other devices to the same server. The biggest problem I found so far is the price, the solutions I found is about $15-20. Or does anyone have an idea how to build a microcontroller that communicates over IP for less than $10? /Andreas -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
