Sort of off-topic, co-locating area 8

I've got two in my bag. They aren't big. They never get disconnected from the blue Cisco console cables either. Doesn't add much really. Not really sure what the issue with them really is. (Other than they always come up as a different COM port every time you plug them into windows which is pretty irritating.) -brian On Jan 18, 2013, at 20:45, Dave McGuire <mcguire at neurotica.com> wrote: On 01/18/2013 08:36 PM, Brian Hechinger wrote: and that USB<->serial adapters don't work well (wrong) Try telling that to Cisco. Their new devices come with a USB port instead of a serial port for console. Wanna know what it is? It's a USB<->serial adapter built into the device. :) That was smart! It's not a matter of them not working well, though, I'd bet...it's more a matter of techs complaining about having to carry around something else. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Of course, that'd be a way to make use of them.

Multi-floor household (DECnet) routing help needed

On Fri, Jan 18, 2013 at 12:11 AM, Ian McLaughlin <ian at platinum.net> wrote: I looked around locally for a powerline ethernet device today. Again sorry for the late reply. I too experimented with the powerline gear and have been favorably impressed. I wonder how well is will work when more and more people have them, but I suppose with good low-pass filtering at the point of presence to the house it might not be too bad. As others have spoken about using CAT5e/CAT6, nothing beats a direct wire (as Metcalfe put it - there is never enough ether). But I too had a situation at my son's boarding school in remote New Hampshire where the WiFi was in the common room and in his actual dorm room the signal/noise ratio pretty much went away. Since he had an ethernet port on his MBP, on a lark, I got a set of these and sent them too him. As per my instrux, he put the one with the switch in the common room and single one in his room. It was so successful I had to add switch in his room for roommate. Success love company, and a number of the other students have asked how they did it and we ordered units for their rooms. A cool part is that the school's IT folks called me and now talking about put a master unit in all the common rooms in their dorms and then tell the kids if they want a hardwired connection in their room - here is how. Not bad for $39 for the single side, and $59 for the one with the built in 5 port switch and sure beats the wireless issues. Clem
