Oh, boy, another 1970's dumb serial port technology with a few more
statements to clog up the slow boat to China data bus.

Meindert's got the right idea. Screw wires......BLUETOOTH or some
802.11b wireless using TCP/IP protocols like you internet uses.
Everybody gets to talk to everyone else without the multiplexers and
RF noises in the SSB nonsense.

Hi there,

It's been discussed in this forum before, but over at Ocean Navigator
they have published an article that states the NMEA 2000 standard is
'picking up steam'. Subscription is required, so here some quotes from
the article:

I'm curious to know what you all think of this standard and wether
it's really gaining any traction. Or do you already see any rival
(non-proprietary) 'standards'/alternatives emerging?

Tnx,
Yme
