RS232 to ethernet device

[Michael]

I have a product that uses an RS232 connection hardwired but it has potential to be used with a serial to internet interface as well.

I have no experience with any of these converters -- some of the ones I have bookmarked are siteplayer, netburner. Also one on Ebay "usconverters". ?

I want something that the user can set up with a MINIMUM of hassle.

Also, something that is complete, not the module concept that needs a PS, case etc.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

I use a lot of these types of devices, and 90% of the time I need a device that is easily configurable from the SERIAL side. Instead, most of the companies tout how good their GUI is - which you use to configure the device from the LAN side. That doesn't help me.

It is also very convenient to have the devices send you status through hardware pins, not just messages embedded in the bitstream (things like "cable connected" or "telnet session in progress" or "I'm now in command mode" for example)

this may sound like a stupid question but I need (2) devices for a link, correct?

or can I have (1) rs232 device at the "send" end (I don't need bidirectional) and just an internet connection (and the appropriate software) at the receive pc?

thinking maybe on the receive end the software will write to the serial port internally or something without the need for another module?

obviously, I have no experience with these.

thanks
