Matthew, please post a message here when you have a new version of Mango that works with a "Serial Device Server" option for Modbus serial RTU protocol. That would help put Mango on the same level as Modbus master software like Modpoll and Modscan32 (as far as Modbus protocol support). Then with all of Mango's other features, it would leave them in the dust!
Just an FYI for anyone wanting to use an SDS or SDA with Modbus serial RTU protocol: you usually need to tweak the adapter's settings to allow for the way that the protocol determines the end of a packet (i.e. with a silent interval). For the Moxa NPort 5130, I configured it for a "Packing length" of 256 and a "Force Transmit" of 5 milliseconds. This also makes analyzing a communications session with Wireshark easier.
Of course the SDA approach doesn't support multiple concurrent sessions like Modbus TCP/IP can, but for a lot of applications that's beside the point.
