Thanks, there are a quite a few 100 footers like this Icron where the
computer-end unit is large.  It appears that all the ones portable for
a laptop only go to 30 feet probably because the transmitter end is
just a small dongle.  I was hoping a small one migh at least get me
across the house, I'd rather not involve 2 computers if I dont have
to.
