This makes for a very small installation, consolodated wiring, and often redundanct power supplies. I'm sure many folks have considered this, but I have not seen it mentioned in the thread so far. I realize that this is not a solution for folks already loaded down with lots of desk top units. Bob -- Robert M. Enger CONTEL Federal Systems enger@seka.scc.com (Internet)
