RE: Re: Serial over Ethernet

Hi

I am waiting on delivery of an Ethernet board as we speak (it's at home=20
now but I am not). It will do all the Ethernet stuff out of the box I=20
think so only the PCB's to make and the serial pass through stuff to=20
write. I plan to use a Mega128 for this although a 64 will do just as well=
=20
I think. If you are interested in rolling a solution let me know and we=20
can look into it a little further. This is essentially a two chip=20
solution, the micro and the Ethernet chip. This would not be entirely
for=20
you either as I am planning to do something along these line for myself to=
=20
hook into my serial based I/O controller etc.

Alternatively some of the guys who use Rabbit chips have this very same=20
functionality at their finger tips so there is another possible avenue
to=20
explore.

All industry-strength solutions for this problem are also industry-priced
(as one would excpect).

And the eBay is not really of much help here - hard to find three equal
boxen (one on the terminal, two on the firewall - on trunk connections=20
>from
two different switches).

Thanks to everybody for recommendations and help you offered but it seems
like my colleague will just use the exiting cabling for dedicated serial
connection (unplugged from the switch, of course).

That is, unless somebody know of a _simple_, _one chip_ solution that can
run ethernet (not TCP, not even IP, I know of several TCP/IP solutions but
they are too complicate) over UTP. Adding a Atmel to interface it with the
serial line wouldn't be a problem, I just don't know how to handle the
ethernet connection.

Best regards,
Primoz
