#174896 - The problem is, I think

Web type programmers just don't "get" serial communication and I've run into this many times. Maybe the development environments or languages favour other protocols?

AIUI, it's not the programmers or languages; it's the fact that traditional "serial comms" are, essentially, "circuit-switched" - so that would mean that the server would have to tie-up "permanent" resources for each connection.

So my question: does anyone have experience with a product that allows some other interface/protocol that will allow a web/network programmer to talk to a distant serial device?

Yes, I do.

Contact me off-list if you'd like more details...
