Still, do they actualy *say* it's a **RS232** interface ?
I could not see that...
The only RS232 reference I could find was a RS232 *connector"
on the lab-board you can buy as an option.

If they should be critizised for anything, it shold be
that they do not *clearly* say that it's *not* a RS232
interface...

What am I missing ?
