Neal,
There are TCP/UDP vi's working on LV/Linux as well as Internet toolkit.
DataSocket client vi's are on LV6/Linux only (server is still
unavailable as far as I know).
There is also Xserver capabilities to send data securely to remote
client, so you can use even front panels from remote device application
on the host machine.
Port I/O may be used if you have appropriate port driver (e.g.
/dev/name.o). In another case you'll have to make some C coding for the
device driver.
I saw the mention and site like "open source CIN project", but don't
remember it's URL. There was Inport/outport vi available, made with CIN.
If I'll find it, will let you know.
Hope this helps,
