As the title implies, I'm looking for some serial over Ethernet solutions. Skipping some of the messier details, I have a few hundred devices in the field that need to have some config options changed. Normally this is done via rs232 connection to a PC -it's a little more complicated now that they're in customer hands in 28 different states. So, I can put a tech to work for the next year and really rack up his frequent flyer miles or I can find a connectivity solution and do it remotely. What I'd like to be able to do is send the customer a "black box", have them plug it into their network and my device and give me a call. Using a similar unit at my location, we have serial access to a PC in my office. I realize that having that happen seamlessly and without the customer configing it to their network and being able to connect to it from my end without even knowing what subnet it's going to end up on is a tall order... How close can we come? :-) -Denny --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
