[EAS] The Real Cost of Converters

[Tom Taggart]

Not so with either of our networks. If you allow the Sage to
find its own address, every time you interrupt power it will
find a new address.

Both only have a simple router between the cable modems and
the switch, at one station we actually have two switches
cascaded--a 16 port for two satellite receivers, two
printers and the computers, then a second switch in another
room for three more satellite receivers and the Sage.
