If you have time tomorrow we can chat about it. I've had great success with it. -brian On Jan 16, 2013, at 18:23, Cory Smelosky <b4 at gewt.net> wrote: On 16 Jan 2013, at 18:19, Brian Hechinger <wonko at 4amlunch.net> wrote: Is there coax in the place?

by sampsa＠mac.com

Anybody have a snippet of DCL for doing this, i.e. talking from one host (client) to anohter (server) in DCL. Also any NCP DEFINE OBJECT stuff would be useful. sampsa

If you run cable inside the heating ducts, make sure it's plenum rated (FT6).

Wired really is the most stable and reliable, for all the wireless hoopla these days. Agreed. Wireless == suck. (and I design wireless comm gear for a living!) Run the wires. You'll be glad you did.

If sunlight hits standard Ethernet cable, the UV will destroy the outer jacket in short order, and it will just crumble away. You'd be very lucky if it lasted two summers. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
