Re: [44net] hardware vs. software

Just some input... on USB Adapters. As far as USB to serial Adapters.. I have two Edgeport 8's on mine* each one uses ONE USB port and gives you 8 serial ports. I have two thus 16 ports. Nice.. Ebay them you can find them for $40 at times.. New they are $400+ They do not suffer from swapping ports when you reboot Linux.. To accommodate my Rig control lines and other USB Devices I have 2 4 Port PCI USB3 cards.. All works well ... I do have three Ports (USB) that swap when I reboot the two rig control lines and my SCS Tracker, which have nothing to do with the Edgeports... Otherwise all is well... Just found these to be superior devices to the multiple USB Adapters.. that usually stink.. 73 Jerry N9LYA * N9LYA/K9BBS http://w9bbs.no-ip.org:8080 Linbpq 6.0.2.12 Debian Linux 7.0.0 Dell_Server_2600_4GBRAM_73GBHD_Dual_Dual_Core_CPU_1.8Ghz W9HU http://w9bbs.no-ip.org:8081 PilinBPQ 6.0.2.12 Raspbian-wheezy-7_Rpi_B_700MHz_256MBram_32GB-SD-class10 N9LYA-5 JNOS 2.0j Debian Linux 6.0.6 HP 3.4Ghz 2GB Ram 2TB Hard drive http://www.mitchellwx.com http://www.n9lya.com http://www.kutche.net http://www.hfskipnet.net
