Potentially useful inter-equipment communications foundation for many projects. This excellent system was referred to in passing on PICList recently but what it does would easily have escaped attention. Provides software and hardware designs for inter equipment communications using fixed, phone or (potentially) radio links with an increasing level of capability as complexity increases. A possible answer to many people's communications requirements,. Series of 3 "RATs" with all hardware/software to allow telephone line or radio comms using SMS V23 standard. Excellent discussion of arcane but simple hardware*. Haven't looked in detail but what I saw is comprehensive and competent. Also implements up to V22bis modem comms in top version. http://puggy.symonds.net/~catalyticideas/rat_ring/index.php ____________ Lead developer - Ken Boak - sometimes PICList member. * - eg simple intuitive explanation of a gyrator - not something that many people are comfortable with, be it ever so simple in practice. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
