troubleshooting=20

*	Auto-detecting 10/100 Mbps Ethernet with built-in TCP/IP=20

*	Raw TCP and IntelliSockT TCP socket services for custom applications

*	Configure as TCP Server, TCP Client, or as both using the exclusive
AutoTCP feature=20

*	Serial Tunneling mode for connecting two serial devices over a
network without a PC=20

*	1, 2, 4, or 8 independent RS-232 serial ports=20

Bryan:
thanks for prompt and helpful reply.  I like the first option best.  Can =
you
point this techo novice to manufacturers of (a) ethernet cards for CF or =
SD
and (b) serial to ethernet adapters, without undue time spent on your =
part?
I have been following this board for some time.  I gathered from the =
archive
an article by Doug Sutherland from 2001 entitled "Re Mobile Sensorium" =
that
looked promising, but (a) I have been unable to contact him re further =
info
and (b) maybe technology has moved on a bit in the last three years.   I
want to feed a PDA in an ultralight aircraft with data from various
instruments that generally output in serial RS232 - ranging from 9600 =
baud
to 38,400 baud.  If I can put an ethernet line into the PDA directly on =
a
card that would be good.   Are serial to ethernet adapters essentially
devices that can draw their power from the data lines?  I presume also =
that
they don't need any host operating system.

get four serial to ethernet adapters
put an ethernet card on your pda
read the four streams independently in one program and send them to your
main program in one stream.. if they need to be one stream.

otherwise, you need to have a standalone device that takes in 4 9600baud
streams and outputs a single 38400 baud stream. could be done with a =
micro
controller or three.. one each for mixing two streams..

get an ipaq with a dual pcmcia expansion sleeve.
get two socket communications pcmcia dual serial cards for four ports
total.

There are three options.
