I was reading a section in an IBM manual about the requirements for running twinax (sort of like thick coax) cabling outside a building. Each end of the cable must be run through a box to protect the equipment, and (paraphrased) the box "must be no closer than [some number of] feet from any flammable objects". I would really recommend trying to run it inside. A hole drilled at the bottom of a wall is quite unobtrusive in a carpeted room. -- Carey Evans <*> [EMAIL PROTECTED] date = 1*2DIGIT month 2DIGIT ; day month year -- Y2K bug in RFC822 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
