Are the KN-200s that are shipping now have temperature control on the fan
header?   (I've got a KN-200 with a fan on it now, and to tell the truth,
the fan doesn't use much power...and haven't had any temp. problems so
far--with a 14vdc supply. But I'd like to replace it for that odd -10 degree
day up there, when the last thing that needs to be happening is more
circulation!) What about this problem with PoE heat?  Is this fixed?  I'm
looking at a new WIPOP that needs to be PoE.
