Isn't that why everyone who uses Ethernet for control has to bastardize it? I would be cautious about using Ethernet on anything that requires
real time I/O control. I am certainly in agreement with the statement that if Linux is to take off as a PLC operating system, it must support the traditional I/O in the marketplace from the traditional vendors, Rockwell, Siemens, etc...
