I've been using them with PIC18 series for several years now. I think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. The new ones have a MUCH higher serial bandwidth. I can't get an answer from them on what buffering they have internally. But with an average data rate at 56K, it seems to be fine. (I have been aassured they work to 2M, in burst mode.)

To start with it will be talking with PC's using ethernet cards. >From what I understand I simply set up the XPort as a transmitter and then the receiving end should be able to get my serial data. The process is referred to as serial tunnelling. Is it really that easy or is something waiting to put egg on my face when I try to make a guesstimate on how long it will take to deliver this feature? If anyone else has experience with these I would appreciate some feedback.
