Folks, there's a *major* issue being overlooked here. How many companies would want one of these installed if they were aware of the risks to their communications security? In an awful lot of the environment proposed for this sort of thing, 50 meters will cover *several* suites. Just what you want, your network data spread all over the building. Unless *all* packets are protected by encryption, there's a risk here that few companies want. And the grade of encryption required is going to raise the price of the network boards considerably. -- Leonard Erickson leonard@qiclab.uucp personal: CIS: [70465,203] 70465.203@compuserve.com business: CIS: [76376,1107] 76376.1107@compuserve.com
