 		 #162376 - How would that help?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I've got no idea how a Lantronix xport would be used. I've considered using high-speed (100 Mbps) Ethernet since packetized communication would undoubtedly work. The problem with that is solving the target interface problem. Perhaps an Ethernet capable MCU ... using UDP ... or some such ...

I can't, from their web page, tell what they mean by serial, since most dummies believe that ASYNC is the only serial comm's methodology, and they're the ones who normally write the advertising copy.

I'm presently considering using an old PC and interfacing via EPP. That can transfer data pretty fast if one has a PCI parallel port. The PC-end is the problem.

I'm thinking that using the MCU might work if I can stay out of the hardware's way. Since I wouldn't be using the timers or UART, I could halt the clock to the MCU while the data burst is in progress.

We'll see ...

               Latency is the problem - not the transfer rate            01/01/70 00:00      
                  You're right ... it's the latency            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Just one machine?            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Nope ... it seems that all Windows boxes are slow            01/01/70 00:00

               Do those work with DOS?            01/01/70 00:00
