Hi
I heartily agree with this wisdom. I have set everything up in the lab and
can use MaxIm/CCD over a LAN set-up. I am using 10 mps nics. With a 10 mps
hub. Will soon put in a couple of 100 mps nics. H I use PC Anywhere to do it
to control the Maxim/CCD. Again the scope is controlled via RS-232. I do
suggest that you pull in Cat 5 cable and go the 100 mps route.
Mike, I hope you left a long length of rope in your underground cable way in
order to pull in extra cables.
Best regards
