And since I've been doing that since my amiga/dialup days, I can testify that it works well. One of the smartest dogs I ever knew was half coyote, so this has been the coyote.den since the late 90's. Nice private little now 8 machine network when everything is running, and as long as I turn the radios off, nobody bothers me. And vice-versa. Seems no one has setup a radio login yet a smart phone can't crack in 30 seconds or less. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
