Re: GPIB to ethernet converter

[William Lu <weiwei@jlab.org>]

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
