Re: [mh] BSC integration howto?

[Thorsten W. <tho...@we...>]

Hello Martin,
could aou please send me your solution to integrate FS20 in MH ?
Eventually with some example MH-Code, i'm not so poweful in writing perl
code but i'm still learning...

I have seen your post yet, i'm sorry its a liitle bit late but i was really
busy in the last time.

Actually i'm thinking about to do some things with the HS485 components from
ELV, i think they are much easier to integrate in mh as the FS20 because ELV
provides the Protokoll-description for free.

regards,
Thorsten.
