I don't know if MX2 will work with that rs232 port device. I haven't really
checked out the device driver functions. it should word tho. I am working on a
version that uses threads and process, but is still don't have my ST yet
I'm still waiting for the NAVY to ship it from Subic Bay phillipines where I
was working for the last 6 1/2 months.
