I'm working on it, but since I'll be tripping back from Orlando (UDS), I won't probably be able to solve it before next week. > > Does anyone know what if these are likely to work with nut? > > There are no references to JBUS in the driver code, so either the > protocol is known under a different name, or it isn't likely to work. > I also missed that part in my answer: JBus is a Modbus variant, used by industrial automation, through serial and ethernet I wanted to write a driver for long, but the lack of users need (and time) got the final word. that said, Eaton sells a JBus / Modbus network card: http://download.mgeops.com/emb/htm/66102e.htm Could you please elaborate on your exact needs Greg?
