I used to look at the Prologix GPIB-Ether controller to see if it met

our needs here. But one of its features removed it from my

consideration: it supports only one TCP/IP client at a time (fine for

me) and if the second client comes in, the first gets clicked out (not

fine for me). Below is the message from the Prologix tech support:

GPIB-ETH supports only one TCP/IP client at a time. If a second client
attempts to connect, the first client connection is disconnected.

William

Hi Emmanuel,

We've been using Prologix [http://prologix.biz] GPIB-Ethernet adapters to control some test equipment and they've proven pretty reliable.  As far as software for them, it's a bit more 'roll your own', but there are a number of sample/free utilities and the documentation seems decent enough.

I have a few GPIB devices.
I am trying to phase them out whenever possible.
Is there an inexpensive GPIB to ethernet converted that you would recomend?
