Re: communication with emc server

[Will Shackleford <shackle-at-cme.nist.gov>]

I think it is much better to do this now with ethernet rather than a 
serial port. Setup a samba server or client on the linux computer and 
you can share files between the two computers.
Then just have the CADCAM software save the files in a shared directory 
where EMC  can
open them from. Neither EMC nor the CADCAM software needs to know the 
other one is running on a different computer and you won't have to 
install any software on the windows computer.
