Using a PIC to send email

[Normnet]

I don't see any reference to email capability at the Nano LANReach site.

I see the email in the Programmer’s Manual now.
Not bad.

How is the web security?
Would this have the level of security one could add to a company Lan?

Nano LANReach Internet Protocols:
• ARP, ICMP, IP, UDP, TCP, DHCP, DNS, NTP, SMTP, POP3, MIME, HTTP, FTP and TELNET
• Security protocols: SSL3/TLS1, HTTPS, FTPS, RSA, AES-128/256, 3DES, RC-4, SHA-1, MD-5
• Protocols accelerated in hardware: AES, 3DES and SHA

I'm not a security expert but those specs look good.

It has a web server (current versions are 64KB, later versions will be bigger).

It can be configured to check a Network Time Sever at power-up and every four hours thereafter.

It's easy to program, using a variant on AT commands.

All in all it exceeds my fondest hopes for an embedded ethernet interface. The low price may due to the current high value of the dollar. It's available from Mouser and others.

There was no Edit button so...

That should read Network Time SERVER. It maintains an internal RTC between network syncs.

YMMV but I got excellent responses from the tech who answered my emails. I have a home automation device that was designed to use the Tibbo EM202 which was discontinued without notice about 9 months ago. I'm waiting for some adapter boards I designed to handle the 5V to 3.3V conversions. Once I have those and can test it I'll be able to say more as well as salvage my inventory of partially assembled devices..

I should also mention another ethernet module that does email (SMTP) and is very reasonably priced for a wireless module.

It's so new that the documentation is not fully released so I'm not sure how easilly (or not) it can be programmed. I have one but will not have time to test it for a couple of months.
