If people have the right bits and pieces then I am sure between us we can make something work.I think I have enough cable spare and the kit to termate the ends - and an 8-port switch, and even maybe a Wi-Fi access point.OK - Just done a check (last minute, I know ;-) And I only have a 12m cable - however if we can use that and stick an access point at the end of it, it might help. I'll bring the cable, access point and a power strip. If anyones got more cable, I can terminate it, if needed, but let me know so I know to bring the kit.
As a matter of fact I do have a length of cable, not sure how long, 7 r 8 metres maybe which is unterminated. I'll bring it along.
I'll try and bring along a 4 gang too. Rob -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
