RE: Extending USB Connections

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxx>]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can daisy-chain USB hubs together to
extend the total distance.  Probably not an ideal solution, but if you only
need to go 10 metres then it might be cheaper than USB->ethernet
converters.

I thought that was probably the case, i'll investigate the USB/ethernet
route then.
