WOW! $US1000! Boat crap is kinda pricey!

Webfoot RS-232 to DCHP-enabled Ethernet adapter $179 including the virtual
serial port software for your PCs for the nav software. Works great with
The Cap'n hooked to the serial port on the old Noland NMEA multiplexer.

Plug it into a fixed port on:

Netgear MR814 802.11b 4-port + wireless router - as low as $20 used and
refurb'd on Amazon. New ones are $39..

179 + 39 + shipping = $995? I don't think so....

Oh, on Lionheart, the shared printer (HP) is hooked to one of the fixed
ports..(c;

Plug the cable modem into the router WAN port when you connect to the
dock's cable TV system and buy broadband internet from the cable company.
Because your wireless router can be used by your neighbors down the dock,
y'all get together and pay for ONE cable internet to the "host boat",
reducing broadband expenses on the dock by a LOT.....
