I have several ethernet connected computers in the shack (10Base2 or thin net)
and run a kw
on HF, 2 meters, and 440. No problem with RF getting into the computers and no
problem with
computer interference with reception and I do a fair amount of weak signal VHF
work. The ethernet
then connects my office computer as well as an ISDN router and a Shiva network
modem. Again,
no problem. The keeper of CT should (in my opinion) add conventional (i.e.,
ethernet) network
support to the program. There aren't enough serial ports to go around and
they're much to slow.
They are also impossible to set up in a hurry. I use CT at my contest QTH,
V31DX, serial
networked to support both run and multiplier computers. Ethernet would be MUCH
easier to
set up and maintain.
Your thoughts?
