It can be split up, is a hassle but that needs 10GB ethernet, which I
don't have. Somewhere in the path to the shed and garage, in a sea of
gigabit stuff, is a 100Mbit limit. Probably an older switch. And decent
gigabit switches seem to have dried up in the local market. What I have
works flawlessly, but still somewhat slow. And at 85, with a spare parts
list beginniing to look like Lee Majors, I know I am approaching the end
of my run here. But I'll also say its been one hell of a ride. I've
made that guy with the scythe blink first twice now. A very enjoyable
feeling.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
