At the moment, the server's in the wrong room...
... as part of the future design, the server will be in the wrong
country
:-)
I really do need something addressable over ethernet, I'm afraid,
partly
because I want a single Intranet across "sites", and VPNing the local
internet
connections is the way to go.
This is all a bit long-term, we are still looking at potential
building
sites for location 2. We thought we'd found one, but this was a couple of
weeks
before we discovered Mary was pregnant, so we decided that making large
purchases was probably worth delaying :-)
Regards,
Mark

as
this will be driven from cgi on your intranet server then why not use the
serial ports on said server? The fact that it is not silent doesn't come
into
it as I assume the system runs 24/7 anyway.

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
