It should be fine. That was actually my approach when I worked on it -- I had power and RS232 go into a female RJ45 plug and then just put a regular RJ45 connector on the GPS18. The less DB9 plugs you have to put together the happier you'll be. :-) By the way - as a standing offer then I'm happy to help anyone in the U.S.[1] with equipment if they'll help build variations of this that we can offer to the pool members. Contact me off-list if interested. Ideally we'd all have the excellent Meinberg equipment - but until then it'd be neat to just get more "pretty decent" servers. :-) - ask [1] If you are in the U.S. then sending you stuff is a lot easier and cheaper... -- http://develooper.com/ - http://askask.com/ _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
