I suppose it might be possible (long shot) to set up the module to act as an Appletalk bridge by writing a custom firmware for it. / port something like NetaTalk / emulate an Local…

Thanks, Gorgonops, for those great ideas. Software and I parted company when the goto statement was outlawed (a legal condition of getting my graduate degree was that I not write c…

I have a 300mhz Wallstreet which mostly works well, but has a couple of issues: First, I think I have some version of the charging board problem. In my case, the system recognizes…

The WiFly GSX module incorporates a 2.4GHz radio, processor, TCP/IP stack / preloaded with software to simplify integration and minimizes development of your application. In the si…

I would think industrial machines had RS-422 so you can hook up quite a few devices to one line (each having its own ID). Anyway can't you just send data over the serial port on a…

For the record, these things already exist. Here's an example of one. Similar devices exist for Ethernet as well. To clarify matters a little bit, these are not general purpose "n…

more than enough for your mac plus

OK, yeah, that would be pretty cool...but what kind of throughput are you going to get on the RS232 port???

Huh?

RS-232 to wireless ethernet would be cool. I have a suspicion that the chip controlling it would be more powerful than the Mac using it though Using one with a PowerBook 100 w…

I think at this point in time the best you are going to get is one of the many ethernet > wifi bridges. You'd need to configure it on a PC, but after that it should work nic…

Is it April 1 where you are living?

I have yet to confirm this, but "generally reliable sources" inform me that there is a company that is working on a WiFi module with an RS-232 interface for industrial applications…
