Thanks :) for the input Brian, just thought as things settle down over my
place maybe if it could be hacked (without anything special) I would make
one...seems like I'll just wait till my network at home is completed and try
it over IP... I'm a tinkerer and love doing things like this. I am still
waiting find the website I found a few months back to get a few crystals and
overclock my spare MP2000s - just having difficulty finding appropriate
sized switches. If anyone cna point me in the right direction for one of
those surface mount switched located in the PCMCIA Flash Cards I would
appreciate it...

God bless,
