I had submitted a request awhile ago to determine the state of
this but had received no answer...  Here at RPI we have a number
of physicists who are enamored with their RIDGE.  However now
it is time to communicate with the rest of the campus and hopefully
the rest of the world.  According to Ridge a $4000 Ethernet
option can be acquired and the protocols can be run over this
interface; however, for various reasons this is not expedient
for us.  My understanding is that the network implementation
was evolved from 4.2bsd unix so I would like to know if anyone
has tried to port the SL code from rick@seismo into the ROS
environment so that IP can run over RS232 ports.  I would also
like to hear from anyone who has been running with this networking
code with other machines like vaxes, suns, 3600's etc...  and
tell me how it has been performing (using the ethernet).
