I wonder how realistic it would be to attach such a thing to our
favorite?
Hello, CityAceE
There is also such a device
http://www.lantronix.com/device-networking/embedded-device-servers/xport.html,
I saw him live, and he costs a penny.
Supports tcp/ip, there are web and ftp servers inside.
Hello MegaMyth
wiz no more real for connecting Ethernet
but in fact, PPP via a modem or gprs phone is more needed!!!
and then it will disappear
Hello deathsoft
dea> and it costs a penny.
about it costs a penny - I seriously doubt it
this is only ethernet
and who will write the software (there seem to be 2 comports per output)

Siemiens MC35
only the price...
It’s cheaper to buy a used phone with a gprs modem - for example siemens s or me 45
Hello Orionsoft
Ori> this is only ethernet
this is not only ethrernet (see the description at the link). Price about $60.
Hello Orionsoft
For the last 5 years, new screens from ancient models have been on sale, like
Nokia 3310, etc.
So aren’t modules sold, or rather the motherboard itself, without a screen,
buttons, Akuma, etc.?
What if you find a similar model with a gprs modem and use it purely for
speck?
Hello Orionsoft
I don’t remember which company sells TCP/IP hardware stack modules. the scarf costs 600
ru is exemplary, connects with a bang. On the PLD board for plugging into the mother and a connector for
Fast-Ethernet cable. There are hardware solutions, you just need to reach out to them
hands. If no one does this in the next 3-4 months, then we will do it
CHRV. Who is faster is unknown, but it will be.
Wait people, Happiness is near!!!:)

I know for sure that they sell regular GPRS modems that connect to a com port. They're standing
about 2 tr. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. Tnm more that the components will come out
more expensive.

There is such a modem, but it is expensive. It’s cheaper to take an old phone, from your hands, and
lean towards him. Many (all?) Nokias have a uart through which you can
get a normal gprs modem, be it for spec or for anything...
