Hi Dave,

That sounds interesting.

I read some time ago that ADI had planned to introduce an RF interface.
Maybe that was the one you were working on.  The Ocelot has some delay when
communicating with modules on the RS485 bus.  A RF link using that bus might
not be any better than a TM-751 sending the command over the powerline.  An
IR link directly into the Ocelot would probably offer the fastest response.

I'm having Charter Broadband problems.  They say the problem is at their
end, but it's taking at 5 to 15 minutes to open a typical web page.  So I
may not be able to respond again until they get this fixed.
