The other fellow's suggestion of terminators of the appropriate resistance is your best bet then. It's not the distance, I don't think, although as an experiment you can put them close together with a short cable. Could also be something simply wrong with the cable, broken wires inside intact insulation from sharp bending or pinching could do it. bye,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,(\ Yolanda ,,,A+,,,,,,\\_/(\ UIN 4898262,,,,,,,,,Q Q \) rockettalk 383426 =(_T_)= http://members.home.net/pippi5 http://members.home.net/villasubrosa/garden "The foot is the end organ of the lower extremity."
