Take a look at RealTerm (http://realterm.sourceforge.net/) RT lets you transmit and receive serial data over the network. I've used it a number of different ways for testing and remote control projects and it works well. Best of all it's free. It's needs are very small so any junk computer that can run Windows would be fine for the remote end. -Chris ________________________________ Caution: Don't look into laser with remaining eye.
