Does anyone know of any wireless communicators that will provide a 9600 baud common RS232 link? I actualy need two, so they would have to be able to work on different channels. I'm using a ibm pc's com1 and com2 port to control a labmate mobile robot. I currently have a serial line between them, but would like to make the connection wireless. Any help greatly appreciated.

You might want to contact a company called EST (Electronic Systems Technology), 1031 N. Kellogg Street, Kennewick WA 99336 (509) 735-9092. I am not up on what they are currently selling, but a year or two ago they made radio modems which can do a sustained 4800baud, and can talk to 9600 baud lines. The radio modems were original designed for industrial settings (i.e. factory or warehouse). These modems require a FCC license (form 574). The modems were something like $1k each. Cheers, Mark
