As you may (or may not) know I am trying to develop a Palm based HA
remote controller which is networked over Cat5.  I have nearly finished
all the software and now looking at the hardware.  I have a working
circuit, I now need a PCB to go forward.  This is an area I know nothing
about.  I found a guy in America that can do the PCB at $25 for 6 and
$18 for 20 but this seems alot to me.  It is a simple board 2 sided and
4"x2" in size(guesstimate).  Any ideas of where to look/start? There
must be a cheaper way of doing this.

Help!
