1) And where there IS a LAN, but installing any more cable will
be a ^(**& project?
2) Several hundred feet is not 36 or 136 miles.
What are the costs to you, and hence to your customer of:
a) logging on from the shop and changing {say} the clock.
or
b) Scheduling a visit, driving there through Beltway traffic,
parking, saying hello, setting up laptop and changing
the clock.
