The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter connects to the PC via 10 BaseT Ethernet. The SLTA-10 connects to the PC via RS-232. Both the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter and SLTA-10 can connect to the PC via modem. The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter uses TCP/IP when directly connected and PPP when connected via modem which allows the use of intervening Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The SLTA-10 uses a proprietary serial link protocol which is not supported by ISPs. Performance is roughly equal.
