Oh wait, are you talking about the power-line networking equipment? I had originally meant the wireless repeater box you plug in at the end of the wireless range so it extends the signal. I have tried the power-line networking equipment; a pair of the Panasonic BL-PA100A HD-PLC adapters, to be exact. They worked just fine, and propogated what seemed to be the full bandwidth of my ~1.5Mbps connection at the time. I haven't used them since my upgrade to a faster connection, so I'm not sure how much bandwidth they're capable of distributing. -- Brad Beyenhof . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . http://augmentedfourth.com Space isn't remote at all.
