Hi, I need general help with rs232, sharing serial cable in particular. I have one of systems connected to pager system using rs232 I want to connect another system to pager system too but there's only one rs232 input to it. I was thinking about splitting cable and connecting existing and new systems to paging system my question is what would happen if both systems tried to send data over serial connection at the same time? my guess is that messages would get corrupted and nothing would go to the pagers if that's the case is there a device that would buffer message in case if messages would arrive on rs232 input ports 1 and 2? I know that it takes like 1second to send the message but I really need to make sure that everything is delivered. thanks all for your help! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
