Message-ID: <200@et.UUCP> Date: Thu, 23-Jul-87 13:15:41 EDT Article-I.D.: et.200 Posted: Thu Jul 23 13:15:41 1987 Date-Received: Sat, 25-Jul-87 11:15:04 EDT Distribution: na Organization: ETCOM International, Edmonton Alberta, Canada Lines: 28 Keywords: RS-232 Xref: mnetor misc.wanted:1197 comp.misc:879 I am looking for a box that connects to a serial port, and has an alarm (buzzer, bell, not ^G) and a lamp. The lamp should be easily visible from say 20-30 ft and the alarm should get your attention from the same distance. By sending a sequence to the box the light comes on (or alarm or both), send another and they goes off. (pretty simple stuff eh !) I know how easy it would be to design one of these, but we need one or two of these to be connected to a vax for resale. If anyone could mail me any pointers I would appreciate it. WE CAN NOT USE A TERMINAL BECAUSE WE DO NOT WANT TO DORK WITH THE USER INTERFACE OF OUR CODE FOR THE ONE OR TWO CUSTOMERS THAT WANT THIS. ( I am only interested in boxes with $$ <= 0.6K ) +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Disclaimer: My employer does not | Mike Graham (mike@et.UUCP) | | know what I am doing. | ETCOM International | | | rm 906, 10044 - 108 st. | | Apology: I apologize in advance | Edmonton Alta, CAN.
