Chuckle, I still have a couple of 10base-T (coax) cards around here 
someplace.  At this late date I should recycle them. The next time I 
stumble over them that is. :)

Not sure, still not enough coffee.  I'm working on that though. :)

That would also allow me to fine tune drill sizes as it appears from my 
reading of google links this morning, that with the actual number of 
through holes I need, possibly a dozen or so, that I would be time & monkey 
business with chemistry ahead to just raise the drill one size so there 
would be room to put a piece of 30 ga silver plated wire wrapping wire in 
the hole & solder it on the part side of the board before I mount the 
components that would cover the holes.  A 100 hole board, no way, but here, 
only 11 need thru conductivity & that I can handle. A 100 hole board I'd 
farm out, probably putting the pullution in some off-shore back yard. :(

Stripping it down to the holes, via, and dimensions and running pcb-gcode-
setup.ulp gets me an instant can't open source/drill.h.  So I'll have to 
generate that with gedit I suppose.  The source directory doesn't exist 
yet.

I'd agree, there was one trace it ran sort of difficult, I picked it up and 
fixed it 3 times & the auto-router unfixed it.  Since this isn't 23 ghz 
microwave stripline, and it is connected, shrug.

Thank you very much for the help Rainer.

Cheers, Gene
