Indeed, they are wonderful. <digression> I used a pair of them on an embedded project with micro-controllers talking via 500Kb serial links. The problem I encountered with Windoze is that (1) 500Kb is a non-standard baud rate and required a customized config file and (2) Windoze used the right config file for 1 converter and the wrong config file for the other. Apparently Windoze identified the individual converters and used the config file it thought proper for each one -- rather than a single config file for both. </digression> -- [email protected] mailing list
