Asynchronous and Synchronous Communication
The Hostess range of multiport serial controllers includes both intelligent and non-intelligent synchronous and asynchronous products designed to meet your needs. Widely used by many major OEMs and System Integrators, they are simple to install and easy to use.
Hostess and Hostess 550
These were the first multiport controllers for the PC and are still in use today in a wide range of systems. They provide a low cost asynchronous solution using non-intelligent controllers.
