Hey Eric, 

Thanks. I've probably just (re)created something un-necessary. I'm self taught so I don't know about all of the functions available in ASYN. I'll check out asynSynIO, though now I'm not sure why TDS3000Reboot is kept around. I guess legacy.

The function connects to a socket exactly as in TDS3000Reboot but here the user can input both a port number and custom boot/init string. For example when I want to boot my PROLOGIX-Ethernet GPIB controller I issue

Here the IP address is 172....., the port is 1234 and the last string is the message. The command is registered in drvAsynIPPort . So far this is just my private code and I was wondering if I could commit it somewhere or submit it to an expert for approval. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll send it to you.
