<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been given the task of understanding a
serial to ethernet box.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It runs unix and has daemons.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It has a very detailed API spec.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The docs outline the API system calls.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So what do you do ? My experience extends to Visual
Basic API calls.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Are UNIX ones the same ? You aim a command at a
port on a running daemon ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This box is supposed to compress 16 RS232's down to
ether.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
