I've seen CF wireless work without a hitch. I wonder if CF serial card like this would work (yikes $130):

Err, maybe I can't. How insulting, RS-232 costs more than ethernet in CF. Another RS232: http://www.elandigitalsystems.com/interface/cf232.php How about your own T1? http://www.elandigitalsystems.com/interface/cf428.php Let me know what you can find. John, do you know something I could not find?
