Hello adamdrayer,<br />
<br />
What are the security implications of using a directcc, i.e. does it create a TCP/IP connection over the serial cable which would be just like connecting it via a network cable anyway ?. what ports does it use to provide RAS ?.<br />
<br />
thanks,<br />

hello All,<br />
<br />
just wondering if there is any way of providing file transfer and file browsing capabilities to a NT PC via a serial cable. I know laplink software can do this, but is there any way to allow file transfer or browsing from other computers on the network via a serial &quot;gateway&quot; pc. it would look something like this :<br />
<br />
remote PC &lt;------ serial cable (RS232) --------&gt; gateway PC &lt;------- LAN ---------&gt; network PC's.<br />
<br />
it would also be nice to have some kind of API to write VB or Java applications to allow files to be synchronized. the reason i need this is to allow data to be retrieved off a control system for data logging purposes. I cant connect directly via a network firewall or otherwise for security reasons. maybe there is software available to do this ?<br />
<br />
thanks in advance..<br />
<br />

serial port to network interface

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
