Company Beckhoff (www.beckhoff.de) offers an Ethernet Bus coupler that can be expanded with a lot of digital/analog IO modules http://www.beckhoff.de/english/busterm/bk9000.htm IMHO price is 236EUR + TAX + prices of IO-Modules
Wago (www.wago.com) offers a similar modular distributed IO system. Advantech offers the ADAM6000 series of complete Ethernet-to-Digital-IO-Modules (approx. 180EUR + TAX) and Ethernet-to-Analog-IO-Modules http://www.advantech.com/products/sub_category.asp?Category_ID=1-LXK3G&PD=AD AM IMHO both of them are working with Modbus over IP (don�t know TCP/UDP) Seems to be hard to modify their firmware... Jan, maybe your institut can make a deal with Beckhoff/Wago/Advantech to make their equipment rtnet-ready? I would join that interesting 'subproject'!

Likely possible if you have deep insight into the firmware. Problably, it wouldn't be much more complicated than the EtherBoot "hack" released this weekend. The only difference: EtherBoot already comes as GPL software... Anyway, if this works, it would be a really great gadget! So, in case anyone is willing to work on this, the RTnet team would be happy to support this effort.
