Jerry,
That looks like a real good solution, big thing is that a lot of
people want to add
all sort of stuff to the device in question, and as a step up, this
sort of falls in the
next slot, these things are dropping in price such that you can pick them up now
for less that $200. It is a lot easier to walk into [bigboxstore]
(fill in the name) and
purchase one of these things now than it is to find some of the
routers that we use
to load the new firmware into. And they have USB which will support
the low speed
packet access. I would like to take the time to see if I could get
FPAC on a router,
and use the serial port for the low speed packet side of it, the WiFi
for the IP access
and the wired ports for other links. But at the same time I know I can
take one of
these netbooks and put it all on there and have it running quite rapidly.

Well better get back to making sure my inspection machines are working...
