I haven't looked at the CL code, so I'm not sure what would need to be done to get modbus support back into the EMC2 version. I may look at that as well, but I'm not exactly looking forward to that part, so I may be lazy and not do it :) I have an interest in getting serial, ethernet, and USB drivers that work in at least pseudo-realtime, but it's not the highest thing on my priority list at the moment. - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
