I tried controlling my Pegasus in the garage/shack
from this computer in my basement rec. room using a
10/100 Ethernet and found it too slow. I am now doing
it with extended RS-232. I use the cat5 cable I had
for the net to carry the audio and other controls like
keying and power on/off etc. The RS-232 uses a
separate double shielded pair cable.
