Now that many engineers have been convinced that Ethernet switches are deterministic enough to be trusted to operate moving machinery without causing grief and harm to equipment and people, 4-20 ma loops are being abandoned for Ethernet based control devices. Plus there are more controller area network (CAN) designs being deployed in automobiles and the like everyday. Then there was that refrigerator with a browser.... A search on "microcontroller Ethernet application" will bring up some articles, but mostly links to vendor products. This is one link, not that I endorse it over any other: http://www.eetimes.com/article/showArticle.jhtml?articleId=10806112&sub_taxo nomyID=6205. But you will get the drift. Still, XML is not yet the language of choice for inter-process communications in these real-time applications. Regards, Ralph
