Group,
You might remember a few weeks ago a post I made asking about some software called "Serial Host", which allowed special HTTP requests to send commands to an RS-232 device connected to the PC running it.
I located some source code for a web server and wrote HTTP232, which is available on Industrologic's web site on the "Resources" page.
It is actually a (very) small web server that you could use without the RS-232 part.
With HTTP232 you can put a PC on a network with RS-232 devices connected to it, and send them commands from a browser on another computer on the network.
Comments welcome, especially if you find that it does not work well in all network situations, which I am not able to fully test. :)
