Replying to my own messaging... Kind of like talking to myself... With newer UV versions you shouldn't need the C socket program but be able to talk to the device server directly.

At my last job, we often had to talk to laboratory instruments (bi-directional interfaces) that primarily serial based. We'd use single port Lantronix device servers (MSS-100 or UDS-100) which are basically single port terminal servers. On the host end we had a socket program that could talk to the device. From there you use a socket program on the UV box, and a phantom that talks to it. Pretty painless all in all... The lantronix boxes are often on ebay < $50 if you wanted to try one out without getting in too deep. Short version: Machine (serial) -> lantronix -> network -> C socket pgm -> UV phantom I'm sure there are numerous other ways to do it as well without needing full pc. This is just one way we used.
