Yes, that would be the "weird" not so well known IEEE that I was talking
about :) sorry that my cable distances is a little rusted at the moment...
If I am not mistaken, it would also be limited to 1MB/Sec over the cable..
:) I thought about using that aswell, could be an fairly interesting way
to connect the bunch together... Overall distance still going to be a
problem though...
Seems to me I have to get my hands on some ppl in SA and find out bout our
telco's monopoly and radio ethernet...
