Thanks for the tip to Videk for the cabling and accessories. Stuff is
arriving tommorow.

For info for the list Dabs were 20% cheaper on the Netgear stuff than Videk,
but then again You cant buy most of the stuff Videk sell at Dabs or the
like.

And I know some one will tell me that they know somewhere cheaper than Dabs!
