Well, since you want to run .NET on it, you're immediately looking at
something significantly more than just a processor, a serial port, a USB
port, and an Ethernet port. I think there's about an 80% chance that you'll
have features on whatever you find that you don't need, unless you build the
device yourself. I'd search on "windows ce" "usb host" "ethernet" "serial"
and "C#" first. You may have to drop the C# depending on what search engine
you use and how it treats that.
How about one of the little ODO mini-XP machines? Or any other small
form-factor PC with XP on it?

I have tried a google search and found many devices for specific
applications. Many of them have more features than we want - like a
display. I want a low cost device that will run my application and
little else. Perhaps I am not searching for the right "thing". What is
such a device common referred to? Its certainly not a PDA or even a
handheld computer.
If someone has knowledge of a specific device like I am describing, I
would love to hear more info.

There are tons of Windows CE-based devices. That's what you should be
looking for: Windows CE, serial, USB, and Ethernet. If you need a
display
on the device, you'll need to look for that, too. We don't have anything
that matches all of those requirements, but you might get the basic idea
by
looking atwww.edasce.comorwww.lanpoint.com. There are many, many vendors
of devices for various vertical markets and I'd be surprised if you can't
find one with Google and some patience.

Hello,
We have already developed a desktop application in C# that
communicates with proprietary hardware devices over standard ethernet
or serial cables.
In many cases we need to deploy this application in areas where full
desktops are overkill. We would like some minimal "appliance" or
single board computer type of hardware that can run our application
and communicate with our back end servers over the network.
I don't mind recompiling our application for the Compact Framework
(and adjusting some code if need be). However, I am having trouble
finding the type of device we should use. Can anyone recommend a
hardware product that will might be useful to us? All it really needs
is network connectivity and standard I/O ports (serial, usb, and
ethernet) and the ability to run software writtenin C#.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. If this is not the best group
for this quesiton I apologize and ask for pointers to a better group.
Thanks to all.
