Thanks for the pointer... But maybe I wasn't clear enough: I'm looking for
a /hardware/ device with a serial interface to replace the notebook PC that
we are using now. (We have already a suitable serial communication software
that logs what we need.) I may even consider a kit, if the price is right.


This is what I've found so far:

- http://homepages.tig.com.au/~robk/serial/price_all.htm: $300. This is
pretty much what I have in mind. Just maybe something still more
inexpensive, and possibly in the USA (less shipping cost). So far it's the
only one in this category that I found. Can it be that there is no other
device like that out there?

- http://www.acumeninstruments.com/Products/SDR-CF/SDR-CF.shtml: $570 +
memory card. This is a bit more than I'm asking for, both in features and
price.

- http://www.cyberdata.net/products/test/serialdatalogger.html: Price and
availability not known.

- http://www.sanpeople.com/products/baseline.asp: Price not known, but
looks expensive. For my application, the network interface for extracting
the logged data is not even helpful.

Thanks,
Gerhard
