Tim, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomePlug: Noise sensitivity was problematic in early powerline technology, though later versions have solved this problem. Also, early powerline technology could not reliably communicate across different electrical phases. HomePlug solved this problem by increasing the communication carrier frequencies so that the signal is conveyed by the neutral conductor, which is common to all phases. I'm no electrical engineer so I've no idea if this makes sense, which is why I said the OP should test it to make sure. poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
