The "official" way is to get what's known as a device server. These usually have a serial port at one end and an ethernet port at the other. These have the virtue of being able to either accept an incoming IP connection and then exchange data with the serial port, or initialte a connection from the serial port to a remote IP address and port.

However, since the Leopard will only need to accept an incoming IP connection, you can get by with something as simple as a print server, if it has a port for a serial printer. I connect to my Ocelot and test controllers (as well as several other serial devices) using Lantronix EPS1 print servers. The nice thing about these is that you can easily buy them for $5 to $10 on ebay. I have over a dozen of these with about six or seven already in service. They are reliable and dirt cheap to buy.

As Guy says, the Lantronix EPS1 will connect a Leopard to a wired LAN and you should then be able to reach it from a wireless PDA through your existing access point. This has to be the most cost-effective way to get connected.

If you can't get hold of the EPS1 for some reason, there are loads of purpose-designed devices on the market. They are generally called Ethernet Serial Servers , Device Servers , IP Proxy Servers or something similar. You would want one with an RS232 serial port, TCP/IP server capability and Ethernet connectivity to suit your LAN (E.G. 10/100BaseT). Sadly these devices are mostly intended for industrial use so they don't tend to appear in the discount networking stores. If you buy one new it will likely cost you around AUD 200.00.

What happened to this Rex??

I've tried the link below but it looks like its broken... \:\(

http://www.appdigsupport.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=12;t=000036

I plan to get my Leo II up on my network and would love to get a copy of this software for my Pocket PC (imate 9502 - VGA version).

Would anyone be able to email this to me? I cannot write programs so I will have to live with others have created.

Cheers
Sash

Wow Rex your really a cool dude.

I think you're one of the imaginative developer I've ever met.
Can I know what SDK you are using?
And can I study some of your basic samples, thanks!
