MOTM

Thanks for the detailed info Paul.  I agree with Cary that many of us would
rather DIY our cables.  You part numbers will make part ordering easy.

Perhaps if the cable sells for better prices at 1000', we might want to
have several diy'ers buying from one person who buys the large roll.  Any
interest?  I would be up for buying a large quantity if I knew others
wanted it.  I would be happy to break even on the split up.  Paul has
enough to do making modules.
