Yeah, the Lantronix device would probably be better, but overall I 
would not choose Lantronix any more.

I use Lantronix's XPORT-03 on a product and the overwhelming 
difficulty I have with the device is that it is not only not open 
source, the Borland C functions that are public and thus callable 
aren't usually documented.  One can side step the difficulties by 
being clever, but there's just a lot of functionality that's not 
possible.

Thing is, I made a mistake specifying XPORT-03 on the product I 
developed because while the device does what most people need, there 
are so many things that the device can't do because it's not open and 
Lantronix will not release the device's source code.

At the same time, Rabbit and other like-minded devices _are_ open 
source and one can dig at the internals and tailor behavior to meet 
specific needs, something that takes a bit of an effort with non-open 
Lantronix devices.

If the original poster is just playing around and wants to develop 
something using his or her existing hardware, I have some software 
that does s-to-e and e-to-s again.
