That's because there is only about 20% difference in the 'speed' between

Installation is the big variable. Whether it helps or not is a totally different question, and depends greatly on the nature of the traffic between the systems. For many apps, 10 is more than enough. But big pushers like backup or imaging can benefit from more. -- Robert | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The main run is close to straight, but inside the buildings that is definitely not the case. Why would the run being straight matter? Thanks, -- Kenneth If you email...
