RE: Electronics Question

[Stuart Poulton <swp@xxxxxxx>]

Ok, time to ask for more help.

I need to opto isolate serial signal, for reasons which will become
apparent, if I say that the project in question is related to a phone
connection.


So heres what I think I need, remeber serial is only 1200 BPS



TTL Signal--------Opto-isolator-------MAX232-------PC Serial Port

Cheers

Stuart
