BTW, I'd try a fiber-optic connector to the machine because 1) it's waterproof and you wouldn't have to be quite as paranoid about leaks, 2) it's far more secure, 3) it's faster and 4) it's probably impossible to trace like a metal wire (i.e. run current through and trace magnetic fields...)...

Just some random advice: My high-speed networking expert friend says that plastic fiber is good to about 4-5 miles, and is a lot easier to work with than glass fiber. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Frantz | The Internet may fairly be | Periwinkle -- Consulting (408)356-8506 | regarded as a never-ending | 16345 Englewood Ave. frantz@netcom.com | worldwide conversation. | Los Gatos, CA 95032, USA
