I use a posh manufacturing mr4 keyboard decoder to connect scales to a thin
client running a terminal emulator. it functions as a keyboard wedge. We
have used them for 10 years with no problems.

Ethernet drops. Sure you could use cat5/6 cable as your medium to carry the
serial itself. We used to do that for a brief period for devices that were
local to the UV box. But that doesn't help me when the other end is in the
clinic tower on the 11th floor as the UV server is on the 2nd floor of
CP/IP to each other.

I concur. I have several pack/ship automation lines with PS90's
running on the "PS One" serial servers set to server mode. I can only
help with theory on the code since it's on D3. I wrote a live network
scale input prompt that polls the scale for weight changes and displays
the changes wh
Sorry that I missed the original post. Here's another approach to
consider.
AnzioWin, our terminal emulator, contains two features that can address
this need. First, we have bidirectional AUX support compatible with the
terminals we emulate. You would attach the scale (or other serial device)
I suspect not with this in the OP: "What I would like to do is network a scale
in our receiving department."
Most places don't put the UV/UD box in receiving. At least I HOPE not. :)

That's why I asked. For all we know it could also be 10 feet away.

I have not communicated with the type of device you are thinking of
using but I would suggest that if there is no specific reason to connect
to the scale via Ethernet you could hook it to your Unix box serially
and read/write via the !ASYNC (aka !AMLC) subroutine. Ahh the joys of
