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?
