Web Server Packed into RJ45 Connector

Posted by chrisd on from the promiscuous-mode-on dept.

VinceTronics writes "Electronic Design magazine has a review (.pdf) of the XPort by Lantronix, a product that packs an entire web server into the volume of an RJ45 connector! This includes an 80186 controller, an OS, the TCP/IP stack, a 10/100 Ethernet transceiver, and the LAN interface magnetics. Downside is that the serial interface to the controller tops out at 300 kbps, but for $33 (in 10K quantities) it's a cool, easy way to net-enable just about anything."

    Isn't a fly smaller than an RJ45 connector?

    she was my first true love of my life. It took me two years to gather the courage to tell her my feelings, but fucked it up at th elast moment.

    Now she's married to someone else, has a lovely daughter, and is thousands of miles away, but I still miss her sometimes... *sniff*

      HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! Faggot! If it's any consolation, she probably would have said no anyway.

    I love to here about all the talk about web enalbed applainces and controlling your home from work. Great devices like this just really don't matter (or atleast won't ever be used by) to the majority of the home consumers in the USA. Why you ask because we allow Cable Modem providers to basically tell us how we will use our internet connection. Cable modems as I used to think were great now contain agreements stating no SERVER usage or they just block the ports. Trying to do this can have your service terminated! I believe in the free use of my internet service I believe if I want to setup a webcam at home and monitor my house while at work I should be able to.

    Are you getting all this? This is going to piss people - even moderates - off a little, don't you think. Remind me - who are the terrorists again?

    from Dictionary.com:

    terrorist

    adj : characteristic of someone who employs terrorism (especially as a political weapon); "terrorist activity" n : a radical who employs terror as a political weapon

    but keep in mind this is for real. I still hurt from the loss, from what could've been.

    I thought you slashdotters could relate more to this...
