RE: Standalone CCTV DVRs

That's something I'd not thought of, - I've used these in the dim &
distant...



Wouldn't I probably have that same problem with driver support though? -
don't such devices generally require a driver on the machine accessing the
ports over the LAN to emulate a virtual COM port?



The other thing I'd imagine is probably the case, is that I bet an 8-port
network RS232 server would be considerably more expensive than an 8-port
PCI card...



Obviously I was hoping to re-utilise the PCI RS232 card that I already
have, but I wouldn't be averse to purchasing some other card / external
box, provided it was a sensible price, and that it's guaranteed to work as
required.
