Hi all,

Can anybody point me to information about RS-485 interfaces?

I've run across the offer of "RS-485 Interface $50 extra" on a
process controller, and would like to know what it is and how to
let FreeBSD talk to it.


Archie seems to draw a blank, and I don't know which comp.dcom.*
group is appropriate.

Thanks!

bob
