Keith,

Somehow knew that would be the answer. Was wanting keep all the gear in one
place and it also means running a long cable. Whats the working distance
between the TW7223 and its interface (lynx10) ? Or indeed if i move the
lynx10 as well then lengthen the rs232 line. If i have a spare cable in
amongst others it will be around 30m long and this route is all decorated
in. Running a new cable would mean finding another route altogether. I am
considering going from top to ground externally down the rear wall if i go
for comfort.
