Need a device  Reply with quote  

I need a device that will convert RS232 to transmit over TCP/IP. That transfer would then go over a private WAN and into another network that will have a "client" device that then converts that back to RS232.

What I do not need is a device that is intended to provide a network connection that talks with a windows PC.

I had seen that via google. However, it didn't appear to be a out of the box solution. My client isn't really prepared to pay me for hours prepping such a solution. I'm going to look at it more today to find out.

Do you have any experience with Xport devices?

Nope.

Home automation people do RS232<->IP all the time, though. Expect to pay $200 or more per device.

You could buy two WRT54Gs and add a serial port to those, put one on both ends.
Have [x]inetd netcat to the serial port on one and and a cron-driven netcat job on the other.
