I need to capture information entered through a signature pad attached to the client. The signature pad will not only capture the signature but will also have a few check boxes. I assume that the check boxes could be transferred to the HTML page if everything else fails but our client wants to capture the signature image. This application runs only at the client''s site so we have access to the hardware and can set it up as needed. This is the first time I would deal directly with hardware myself so I am a little lost about how to proceed. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

If its an old hardware it could be using a parallel or serial port to connect to the server, if its newer it could be using usb or ethernet. If it using ethernet it would be great and it means it could be using snmp. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks to both of you. I don''t have yet the hardware on hand but have requested a unit to see if I can play with it. In the meanwhile I looked for info on the internet and found something promising at http://thomasjbradley.ca/lab/signature-pad.
