[Elecraft] Ethernet to Serial Converter

[Jim Brown]

The Glentek website needs some work. It's harder than it should be to figure out what this stuff 
does and what it costs. 

On the other hand, the B&B site lists another very interesting Ethernet to RS232 product. Only $99, 
it runs on 12VDC. While a wall wart is included, the fact that it runs on 12VDC makes it easy to 
power from a typical ham station that runs on 12V. Software compatibility is listed for W2K, XP, and 
Vista.

One caution -- it's listed as FCC Part 15 Class A (higher RF emissions). 

There's also a version for EU and UK power (probably nothing a wall wart for 240V and EU/UK plug).
