<DIV><SPAN class=812062916-10122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>They
have some RS232 to IP converters. Kinda neat, in that you can use a
Hardware Serial port on your computer to talk to the remote RS232 port over the
Internet. You could use UiView on the computer and have it work with a TNC
across town, or on the other side of the world.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

of these units can operate in both directions. That is, it can
automatically connect to a station, or will accept a connection from a
station.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

looking at these for remotely controlling satellite ground stations, including
D700, rotators etc. Looks promising.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face="Courier New" color=#000000><FONT size=2>Has anyone
thought about building a modem (TNC) that can be controlled via IP? I'm
thinking of a modem with a RJ-45 in the back vice the RS-232 and assign it a
static IP and just send data to it. I could imagine some really
interesting scenarios with that combination.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
