You can probably pick up a 1000' spool of outdoor > cat5 for about $100. 100m (328') is the "textbook" max length of Ethernet, but this has a lot more to do with signaling collisions than the ability to correctly drive signals on the wire. Put a switch (or full-duplex adapter) on each end, and "collisions" become impossible. _______________________________________________ Talk mailing list [email protected] http://seattlewireless.net/mailman/listinfo/talk
