Not having read this thread... but RS232 does not have the performance
of Ethernet...
The line drivers in RS232 may be pushable to 250kb/s (0.25mb/s),
depending on the capacitance of the cable, but Ethernet can go 10mb/s,
or 100mb/s with Fast Ethernet. I also don't see a serial UART going
that
Just another note on Ethernet vs rs232
I've seen our lan have so much traffic that it has hampered
communications between the RS6000 and the 3494...this type of connection
is also subject to any adverse changes between the rs6000 and the
3494.
