I think the
cat(s) would take issue with that and proceed to destroy=20
the cause of said tones...
That would probably be an issue even with the ultrasonic setup, ISTR that= there were "cat chasers" in the market
which issued ultrasound when some=
thing entered the detection area of an IR sensor to prevent the fuzzball =
from going in places where it shouldn't (e.g. near expensive furniture).
Fortunately Pentina shows no wish to jump on my lathe. And that's the
only thing I'd want to keep him away from (for everybody's good).
[Modems to cordless phones]
I suspect if
you use 'classic' modems (300 baud, 1200/75, etc), then=20
it'll e totally trivial if you can also modify the modem. After all,=20
there are separate Tx and Rx signals inside the modem unit.
Yes, but what about the levels? Phone line vs. capsule mic/handset speake=
r? I see it's hard to make do without permanent
cabling, but the ports=20
shouldn't be such a problem. You could just run two links into each=20
room where
So I wait for my parents to go out, when they get back they see DB25=20
sockets on the walls of most of the rooms :-). chance when wiring is touched to bring Cat5, RG58 and
2-4 pairs of undedi=
cated copper to pretty much every room - the coax for 10b2 or CCTV, the c=
opper for RS-232, audio, IR-remote-by-proxy, phone or whatever future nee=
ds arise.
That is true. I suspect I do have enough ports on the Netcommander to
have 2 poerts per room too., if I go that route.

If the 2 machines are next to each other, I might
just run a null-modem=
=20
cable between them ;-)
I was well aware of that option :) but two links would, for example, enab=
le you to connect two machines which are in the same room, but need proto=
col analysis or conversion between them done by a third device in a secon=
d room.
