No. The linux box talks to nothing but the next switch. There your precious bits will be buffered, sent through an internal bus, re-packaged and sent to the next device in the link. How about trying to use 10Base2 coax? That will give you an even lower bandwidth, will be half-duplex, too, you can terminate it with a nice resistor, it's shielded, has those worthy BNC connectors and you can be sure to always talk directly to your Squeezebox since it's a bus, no switches in between. Fortunately, I've still got a few meters lying around, how's that? O, wait, too bad, the Touch doesn't have a coax network connector. That would make for a nice mod, wouldn't it? -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84742 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
