Hi there. I'm trying to network several RS232 devices in my lab, but I thought that it might be a good time to switch to ethernet. However, the cost of multiport serial to ethernet servers is prohibitive. Does anyone know how I could build one of these things for less than 500.00. I'd like it to have about eight serial ports on it.

Which type of <A HREF="http://www.data-connect.com/RS-232_Info_page.htm" target="_new">RS232?</A>

I'll assume you mean 25 pin and have a gander for summat.

Hmmm. Not sure exactly the purpose of this. Perhaps more info would help. Anyway...<A HREF="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3403209082&category=1484" target="_new">here?</A>

Well...their all rs232 protocol (except for one 485 device which I have a converter on), what I want is to build a device that I can assign IP addresses to the different serial devices. Right now I'm working with a code activated switch, but its tedious.
