Exactly. You can also use the telephone wiring in the house if it has enuf unused lines - or, what I did, use cordless phones putting the base stations at the main connection, then dedicatiing the rest of the installed house wiring to 1gb and a switch at every end. That gave me connections galore on every floor with virtually no "real" electrician work. b regards, Bill B&WG3/400/OS10.1.5 DSL router> LAN: iMac 233(bondi blue) OS10.1.5 4400/200/G3-350/OS 9.1 WGS8150/110/G3-300/OS 9.1 (data server) PB 145 OS7.1 http://www.william-jurgenson.com -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
