Hi Martin

Regarding the PC interface is works very well, does every thing that=20
the serial can do and the option of working remotely over IP.
( the network interface is realy nothing more than a Serial interface=20
with a builtin Serial to IP converter)

the DLT=B4s are great, but at the moment they only have them in the=20
Australin version not the UK, the UK is goging to be smaller as I=20
understand it, but I orderd the Australian version as we have round=20
backboxes in Iceland and I had to fit a new back eighter way, so it=20
made sense to get the larger switch, as I understand the UK one is=20
going to have just 4 buttons but the australian has 5

Cheers
Arni
