Hi Mark...

We have Kepco BOP GPIB power supplies that we are talking to using ASYN 
and an Agilent Ethernet/GPIB gateway.

We attempted to use Stream Device, but had difficulties with this.  So 
we used genSub, and wrote C code that parses values into the appropriate 
GPIB string and puts them into the .AOUT field of the Asyn record.

Hope that helps...
