	David Fischhaber said: Actually . . . you could use Powerline Ethernet and skip the CAT5. It's been around for about 10 years. I've been using it for about a year. The one from Netgear will get you about 85MB. Works great. I wonder if WSD will be available anytime soon with Powerline. April 18, 2007 6:03 PM
	John Graf said: Good to see this on the web. Problem we have seen for the last 5 years is price not technology. A comment to all who view this. Wireless is fast and easy, but NOT secure and can fail and not recover. Better to have a well designed wired network that can respond to a mouse bite path loss than a malware generated RF problem that knocks out everything including your security system. Dealer/installer fixes are available from venders like Synergy Concepts, Inc., ID is required. April 27, 2007 12:18 PM
