Lost on LAN line

Can be a single board, but the cool thing about the 104 form factor is they are stack-able if you need to expand the system (add more stuff).

And because they are popular in industry they will commonly have RS232 and LPT built onto the main (first) board and run in high temperature environments.

Its not often that this happens, but after careful consideration I have decided this is far beyond my reach at this time. There is a lot of things to learn about ethernet, etherCat, and how it all works together.

Thank you all for the help!
