is ok to develope 2 versions of&nbsp; the xPL enabled 1
wire&nbsp;Hubs.....As Jon stated earlier he,s working on a Tini
(ethernet)&nbsp; version...and i was about to start work on a serial
version....Should i drop
it&nbsp;.....???&nbsp;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="2">&nbsp;
Also today&nbsp;spoke to my friend John (Mr Genesis) and at some
stage&nbsp; hes going to modify the Text messaging format&nbsp;in
the technician software so i&nbsp;will be able to build and
send&nbsp;xpl message like Homevision
;-))&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The beauty with the Genesis kit is, every
field module (rs485&nbsp;based system) has a rs232 port as well
;-)).........So text messages can be send to field module
ports....................only drawback i see is max of 100 text
messages......</FONT></DIV>
