Jon,
Thanks for the response. How do you connect the two boxes? Serial? Network
cards?
I have some WD network cards which are supported by Linux.
Yes, I got PCI Ethernet cards for most of the machines, but the CNC
machine has an ISA card. I chose thinwire ethernet (10-base-5) over
twisted pair (10-base-T) because it didn't require a hub, and I knew
the technology well. Actually, I have at least 6 machines that could,
potentially, be hooked up.
I liked Linux so much, I decided to set up another Linux system and
migrate a whole bunch of stuff I do for the home, and my business,
to it.
Jon
