I still don't see the value of this approach. Considering the cable usually installed by the PTT (CAT2 I believe), one would expect a max distance between stations of a couple of km and a max transmitted rate of at best several Mb. Also you can't merely "splice" the customers' cables together; one would likely have to install some sort of analog bidirectional bridge. It seems that any of the 802.11 approaches are superior in all respects. Larry > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
