Yes, I know that Erik did just link to a full page of modems.
But AP Charles did specifically target the most expensive alternatives - the Ethernet-capable modems that are twice the price of the RS232 modems at the top of the list and that sounds closest to Eriks (very minimalistically described) requirements. For one-off, $100-$150 may be an acceptable price for a free-standing modem. For volumes, a module around $50 would be a better alternative. Unless Erik has suddenly decided to run everything in the modem, a $350 "modem" should not be an alternative. And even then, alternatives exists way below $350 that allows application to run in the modem - both for modules and free-standing modems. The way he points me using/running after low cost solutions ,keeping that in mind I knowingly pointed the most expensive one to see if he really opts for that (preassuming Automotive being his application). I know engine boards as low as 20$ but (worthless). Regards Ap |
