Why? That native binary will also suffer from large latency (the serial link is slow no matter what is being sent over it) and probably also fairly large jitter. And it suffers from the huge downside of your having to learn a whole new language. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
