by I'm looking at putting a robot on the net here using radio.
Right now, the best combination of cost/features/ease seems to be
half-duplex radio modem, like the Abacom RTcom-RS232. This is a
simple radio modem, which connects to an RS232 port with a 3-wire
interface.
So... what can people advise me regarding protocols? Will plain ol'
PPP work? Can PPP end up holding the modem in transmit mode for a
long time, in this application? The AX.25 HOWTO gives me the
impression that it wants to have a driver for your radio, which
is more than this approach needs.
So... where do I look for information? What advice to people have?
Thanks,
