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