I think I may try one of these http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?EDM-54USB4#top With a usb extension cable, I can mount this on the window. It is worth a try, as I think the best alternative is to run a cable, and I really can't bring myself to do that. Also, if this device does not work for this application, I am sure I can make good use of it. -- Philip Stubbs -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
