All,
I'd be willing to bet nobody in this country or Canada was tested over
how to setup a LAN or Ethernet communications on their Ham Radio exams,
and I'd bet there are a few guys on this board who could teach us all a
thing or two about radio.
RS-232 just isn't that hard and one of the worst LAN fur balls I ever
had to fix was caused by a couple of jabbering NIC's. I access all of
our Routers and Switches with a laptop ,USB to RS-232 adapter and
telnet. It's just not that hard.
The only thing you get when switching from RS-232 to Ethernet is bandwidth.

A LAN based communications platform opens up the ham shack integration to
an entire new level. I keep saying over and over that Ham Radio as a
hobby is a technical hobby where you are actually examined on your
technical understanding of how radio works, etc. Yet, the overall average
of knowledge of a average ham seems to be going the wrong way where they
understand less just about how things work.
