Ah, I understand.  I did not realize you had written a specific driver for the Prologix, but I see the link to it in the asyn documentation.  Should that be added to the standard asyn distribution?

Sorry for the confusing reply — I meant the driver for the Prologix LAN/GPIB adapter you mentioned: http://prologix.biz/gpib-ethernet-controller.html

And in response to Michael Davidsaver’s question, yes, the driver does use the ‘++’ commands to communicate with the Prologix adpater.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the reply.

You mean the standard asyn VXI-11 driver, right?

Does your driver handle their non-standard ++ command escaping?
