Thanks! Another application I've been using for testing is Ponticulus . It
shuts down after the browser loads the page, but I've, for now, stuck it
in a loop in a batch file. That seems to work ok, but occasionally the
browser says "the site is too busy." That happens if I click a link while
the page is reloading (right now I'm using the refresh meta tag). I have
not seen that happen with sRedirect. Maybe the browser does that when
Ponticulus is restarting.

Yes, this is for a product, and cost is a major concern. At this point,
I'm just experimenting with user interfaces. There is an 802.11 radio
module, and USB. I thought a simple web interface could be shared between
the two. It DOES appear to be working, though it is not as pretty as a
custom Windows interface. I'll have to see what the higher ups think. I
like the web interface because it's universal. If someone has a laptop
with an 802.11 radio, no software is needed. It just works (though they
have to set up the networking, which will generally be ad hoc). With the
usb interface, they can just plug it in and type "localhost:4040" in the
browser url bar (right now I'm using port 4040), and up it comes!

Thanks to all for the comments!

Harold
