This new version has been months in the making and has some new features that I think will be very usefull here.

I use this new feature on my GUI program to show alerting visually for my house.
The new message from AD2USB looks like this

I Don't recall the app but if you do let me know.

Right now I have a perl script listening to the ad2usb output on a FreeBSD box, so it will be a while before I get around to trying socat again and testing the Mono GUI on my Mac. But, as soon as I get that up, I'll let you know how it worked....As I recall some program for osx or unix that would open the com port and turn it into a socket on a given port was a solution you where using?

The 4 port box looks an awful lot like the one Kensington sells. With that box only one person can connect to a USB device at a time - thus defeating my idea of shared usage. I suspect the 2-port device is similar, but I will looik into it. I am pretty sure that socat will allow an interface to be shared... But, I'm not sure how the ad2usb would react to that....Or you can buy a ethernet->rs232 adaptor such as this one: http://www.gridconnect.com/net232.html...

seanadams wrote:The thing about USB is it's not a trivial byte-stream like an RS232 port, so the host device needs to be running a special driver to talk to the USB->ethernet adaptor and make it appear to the OS as a USB device. Then the USB->serial driver is still needed to talk to that. It might work but I don't see an advantage.
A year ago, on the Nutech forums, Sean M. wrote:Looks like I have a run on serial requests...
I am just about to ship out a modified version that does serial. It required me to attach a MAX2332 chip on a second PCB I etched in my lab along with a modified firmware. So short answer is Yes. The problem is it eats up a lot of my time to do this custom modification and I cant do that unless I add to the price.
In the next revision of the board I have make this design change permanent and added an option board interface.
