Robert,

Thanks again.  I was looking at the website tonight, and got a little of what 
you mentioned.  One system would be fine for me I guess.  At least they make 
a cheaper 1 port ($99) if I decide to go with it.   Since I already have a 
hub, no point spending the extra $$ for a 4 port.

Thanks,

Kevin
