Re: KAT5 Progress Update

[Dan Khan]

Hi Keith,

Do you have a module that does USB over cat5? I have seen a few products on
the web, but they still seem pretty pricey.

Have you got any USB up your sleeve? :)

BTW: Since I've been away for the last 2 months, have the IR AV upgrade
units come out of testing?

Regards,
-Dan
