Mick,

 

Sorry, I guess I should refine the spec with the words:

 

6: Small

7: Silent

 

:-)

 

Siteplayer looks possible. Anyone actually using one?

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
