It sounds like the hardware the OP is after is a bit unusual, not the kind of thing you'd get in a High St department store. Here where I live, it's quite easy to find specialists for that kind of stuff, small firms that often do installations as well. I've always found them to be very willing to cater to the customer - they don't have thousands of them streaming in the door. Approach them on the basis of two knowledgeable techies figuring something out, and they are usually quite helpful. Well that's how it generally works here. Different attitudes might prevail elsewhere. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
