I have been reading up some on the Elk IP232 module but still have some questions that could maybe be answered by somebody who is already using one?
1- What all can you connect to this thing? Can I use it to connect PowerHome or Homeseer to serial devices such as a W800RF32A, an Insteon serial PLC, a CM11A, a weather station interface, a Stargate, or an Ocelot?
2- The documentation describes support for multiple sessions. Could both Homeseer and PowerHome (running on separate PCs) access a device such as a W800RF32A at the same time via the IP232?
3- I see on the IP232 page that there is a link for some free software to set up the virtual com port on the PC side. Can you run multiple intances of this to set up several virtual com ports if you have more than 1 device each on it's own IP232? Example: If I have 4 netcaller ID boxes on 4 phone lines, can I connect each one to its own IP232 and then create 4 virtual com ports on my PowerHome or Homeseer PC to receive the caller ID info?
