Re: software for TW523 on Linux

[nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Dave Houston)]

I can have a PIC based two-way +5V RS232 interface for the TW523 within a
week or two. It will cost about $25-35 depending on whether you assemble it
or buy it pre-assembled.

The board may have room for a MAX233A if you need ±12V RS232.
