Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I am just trying to cleanup and
protect things better than the current layout. Some of the maintenance
installations in the past resemble a cluster of 4 types of cable, a switch
and 3 hubs feeding our main production area. One slip up with a piece of
material or water and I'll digging through cable for weeks.
A few people mentioned wireless connections which we are exploring and I was
interested to is if anyone was using tablet PC's yet?
Thanks again,
Michael
