Right now, I have an old Sony Laptop(w/wifi-card) down in the basement connected to my
new TS-45 charge controller(w/RS232).. I can run the TS-45 control software remotely, using LogMeIn..
If I get the new TS-45 LCD unit (for Xmas?), maybe I can move that Sony over by the breaker box..

That way, I could connect the MTU & RDU on the same unshared breaker.. (USB to Sony).
Once a second updates!! If not, I could add the XPF (X10 filter).
Then, I could sit upstairs, and run FootPrints remotely.. Via Wifi..

I'll just have to add an Alarm-Out jack to the RDU, so I can run a Beeper
cable up to my living area..

Hopefully, I won't become entangled in wire and topple down the basement stairs!!
