[Elecraft] Ethernet to serial adapters

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Eltima's Serial to Ethernet Communications software library 
http://www.eltima.com/products/serial-over-ethernet/ allows
mapping an Ethernet to serial adapter to a virtual port on a 
local computer.   There may be similar products ... I have 
not looked for them.
