Just another note on Ethernet vs rs232....
        I've seen our lan have so much traffic that it has hampered
communications between the RS6000 and the 3494...this type of connection
        is also subject to any adverse changes between the rs6000 and the
3494.....
        rs232 on the other hand should be a very solid connection
        Although we have both..I've only seen "broken pipe" messages/issues
with the Ethernet connection.
        FYI Thanks Tim

        Yes, the 9-pin port on the rear. As the cable is having 25-pin
connector on
        both end, you will need a 9to25pin rs232 connector on the RS6000
side.
        Thanks.
