Hello I am a list lurker and this is my first post here. Please forgive me & cor= rect=20 me if I am doing something wrong. What I am seeking to know is if how to connect my serial communicating devi= ce=20 (microcontroller based) to the internet via a PC in between. I am seeking = a=20 Windows specific solution if there is one. I do not mind writing my own=20 application on the PC to do the intermediate stuff, but, I do not know what= that=20 stuff should be. I found this link http://www.kmitl.ac.th/%7Ekswichit/Ajay4/index.html which= =20 explains precisely what I am trying to do. However, the PC part is not cle= ar to=20 me. How can some device connected on a serial port of my pc go onto the=20 internet? Via telnet? ssh? ppp? slip? If you know any links that I can read up, I am eager to learn. Even if the= re is=20 something here on the list, please be so kind as to point it out as I am ne= w=20 with the usage of this list. Thanks very much.
