Nooo, this one:

Have you used the Lantronix? Besides being a higher
quality case and
build,
the software and configuration is much nicer. The UDS-1100, which is the
current UDS version, is around $120, which is not massively more.
24,95 for the wizchip module :o)
This is not to say that the Wiznet box/chips are poor
choices (they're
not),
and there are lots of applications where the niceties of the Lantronix
aren't
worth the cost, but I really think you're not making a fair comparison.
Sure I am. I'm creating a simple and cheap internet card for an old
computer. If Wizchip works, why would I use Lantronix?
Having used a Wiznet and both a Lantronix UDS-10 and
UDS-100, the
Lantronix
boxes offer a much more complete and higher quality package.
I'll take a look at lantronix modules, but as I said before: If it
works, and it is cheaper, why bother?
I won't buy a $199 Fluke multimeter, just to test continuity.
