 It comes with no network connectivity.
 Its purpose is to debug and hack devices locally, not to provide a gateway to remotely control other devices.
+=== not the ultimate all-in-one device: ===
+The BusVoodoo is a compact device which supports a lot of [[#protocols|protocol]], which makes it quite versatile.
+But it is not intended to replace all the other special purpose adapters (USB to UART, JTAG, ...) which probably can better solve specific task because their are: more stable, simpler, more powerful, faster, more stable, cheaper, or more available.
+Thus the BusVoodoo is a good choice to start with, but if you want better performances switch to a device designed for each particular task.
