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
