Re: Wiring idea

[Frank Mooney <fm@xxxxxxx>]

Mick,

We have had on test for a number of months an A/V hub that has been
tailored for the marketplace and is now in production. This hub is
now a standard part of the  IP Homenet wiring system. Our web site is
currently being updated to reflect the change of our system from CT100
Co-Ax to a complete Cat 5e system.I am aware of the work that Keith is
doing on his KAT5 project and please do not think that I am trying to
railroad in any way. I was merely answering Ewen's initial e-mail.
