If you are stringing cable between building you really need something like....<br><br><a href="http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=7629">http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=7629</a><br><br>..which is not cheap. Also stringing normal Cat5 outside is against code which could bite you when you least want it too.<br> <br><br><br clear="all">Thanks,<br> <br>- Eric<br><br>------------------------------<br>Eric J.
