[WriteLog] Networks

[Jim Sanford]

Hi:
I switched my coax network over to 100MB twisted pair a couple of months
ago.  Saw NO increase in radiated noise.  I did see, however, some
impact when I'm running KW on 75 and browsing at the same time.  So, the
usual RF chokes at the switch(faster than a hub) and at each network
card.  Viola -- no problem.

If you have cable modem or ISDN or ADSL coming your way, go for it.

Good luck.

73, 
Jim
