We have used this setup at NIH, and it has worked. As an alternerative, you could look at some porducts by FIBERMUX, it makes the fiber look like a long AUI cable. It still requires power for the end by the cable tap, but doesnot need a repeater. joe -- The above comments are the sole responsibilty of the author, they in no way reflect the official policies of this, or any other government.
