Cool. Sounds like you need 2 WebFoot adapters unless you have a
multiplexer with ethernet out? Is there a provision for multiple
listeners on the same ethernet data stream, using multiple Webfoot
adapters?

The RS-232C port on the Noland is bidirectional. It takes and sends serial
data from the one Webfoot fine.

I don't think you can connect more than one Ethernet user to it at a time.
It's been on the boat and working so long I've forgotten but it doesn't say
that in the pdf on:
