has anyone actually been satisfied with the performance of these powerline signalling devices ? yeah they make a nice cheap demo, but any time I have used them they proved to operate randomly on their own, and not always when they were supposed to. Hardly something I would want for say a door release. Granted in an existing situation there may not be a way to run more wires, but I evaluated them a while back and decided to stay away. > > John > > > _______________________________________________ > --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- > > asterisk-users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users > Jon Pounder _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ Inline Internet Systems Inc.
