How far would your setup require? I've networked machines via serial at
9600 baud for just over 700 feet with no noticeable degradation.
Just make sure you cable stays "clean": no kinks, pinches, loose
connections, etc.

Subject: [TRLog] Field Day Networking Question
Hello to All!
I'd like to try to network a couple of computers for Field Day.
Would anyone have any idea regarding the maximum distance between
computers? Is cat-5 cable appropriate for this application?
Thanks in advance!
