RE: ITP: cyclades-serial-client
Just complementing:
1) For Sales in Germany, please contact Cyclades Germany
(http://www.cyclades.de/company/contact_info.php?region=de)
and click on the "Talk to us" button for email contact to Sales.
2) There are products for Windows that offer the same functionality as
Cyclades-serial-client.
The most well known are the products from
http://www.tacticalsoftware.com/. They are proprietary
SW and, of course, not free.
Regards,
John
