	there are thousands of sites which run broadband and other coax
	between buildings with no problem.  many of them do run computer
	networks across such cables, as well!  many thousands more run
	cable TV channels across broadband cable between buildings...
	
	i'm not sure if 4 out of 5 networking cats would agree with
	Mr. Hedrick's recommendation.
