Hmm... not sure about this, - OK, if your just talking about being able to
use an existing PC COM port then its very cheap, - but ethernet hardware is
pretty cheap now, - a 10/100 PCI card costs a lot less than a PCI serial
port card for instance... Although I guess I am thinking from a PC
perspective.. Presumably for other hardware platforms like PIC/HV et al,
then I guess you're right...
