      Hook up my US Robotics 56k modem and dial up to the internet, where I can chat with hot babes

      I have a 485 adapter in my bag for BACnet and Modbus communications.

      And what the hell, add RS-422 while you’re at it. And a parallel port! And the left side expansion port they used to have on the Amiga 500 and 1000!

        And some ISDN BRI ports. And ATM and FDDI. And something I can do X.25 over. Oh, and Token Ring.

      UART consoles and model train control systems come to mind.

      -485 is superior. Everyone knows it
