enabling Ethernet on most of the peripherial equipment is

or rotor control boards a year, and who clears five bucks on each interface,
isn't going to invest the time and effort to do that. The expense would be
ruinous.
for whatever it's worth, there was a vendor at Dayton this year selling
antenna switches, a bandpass filter unit, and some other peripherals,
together with a logging program, all of which used Ethernet to
communicate. I've tried to find info on this outfit on the Web, but am not
having any luc. I think the logging program was called MILog. Ring any bells?
