Siteplayer looks possible. Anyone actually using one?

[ukha_d] Embedded web server with serial out?
A
486 or very low end pentium PC running win95 and something like girder
?
1
yup in fact more than one if you want
2
yup
3
yup or even several ports
4
yup
5
yup if you can find them
Alternatively you could do this with a Tini,
siteplayer or rabbit although all of these would need software and probably
hardware development work.

I have a use
for a "thing" with the following characteristics - does such a thing
exist?
1: Ethernet port
2: DHCP, or the ability to hard-wire an
IP
address
3: Serial port
4: Ability to send arbitrary serial commands
out on the serial port in response to network requests
5: Vanishingly
cheap
When I say "network requests", I mean something that either an
http client, or a Windows command-line so CGI-script on my intranet server
(need not be http) could send.
Something that came with a 32-bit
windows application that went
> SerialSend <IP-address>
<String>
would be ideal :-)
I have a couple of
devices around the house that can be serial-controlled, and would like to
control them over ethernet...
The serial control requirements are
typically simple, but it _mustn't_ be something hard-wired into the device
at "programming time" - it must be capable of modification on the
fly...
Regards,
Mark
