Digi appears to have the best unit to go from serial to ethernet. While we do have an HP serial port "hub", I would rather not wire a serial home-run from the server to the scale. Thus, I seek suggestions on voodoo to best make a connection between say UniBasic and/or UniObjects and a serial or ethernet device. --Bill ________________________________________________________________________ This email was checked by MessageLabs SkyScan before entering Microgen. ________________________________________________________________________ This email was checked on leaving Microgen for viruses, similar malicious code and inappropriate content by MessageLabs SkyScan.
