Hi Cynthia, Hopelessly optimistic, huh? Your self-description fits me to a tee. Don't know if you'd seen this latest review from PC Week. It's good. Executive Summary: LonMaker for Windows 2.0 USABILITY...................B CAPABILITY................A PERFORMANCE..........A INTEROPERABILITY...A MANAGEABILITY.......B By Ken Phillips for PC Week Labs April 26, 1999 10:29 AM ET Echelon Corp. has made its LonWorks building automation and process control system more flexible by allowing electrical devices to be managed from across IP networks and the Internet. In tests of LonMaker for Windows 2.0, released last month, PC Week Labs found that the updated design tool for LonWorks networks should make it easy to manage a myriad of electrical devices and controls tucked away in service ports, equipment rooms and production floors throughout a building complex. Managers of manufacturing floors and those in charge of building facilities that already use LonMaker for Windows may want to upgrade, and those without a LonWorks network should consider installing one to simplify configuration and control of electrical devices. The new IP support makes LonMaker especially attractive for those in charge of distributed facilities. A de facto standard, LonWorks technology is used to control electrical equipment--from machines on the shop floor to office air conditioners--through intelligent devices connected to that equipment. zdnet.com Janet
