Well, as luck would have it, I have a 480.  It is back in Kansas.  If I 
get serious about this thing, I should have it here to set up.  The 
other problem is I really canb't afford to pay for internet there, but I 
ccould probably use my neighbors wireless router as I do when I'm home. 
I have to use a wre54 ranger booster oto do that, so I'd need to do some 
playing there with better antennas or put the range booster in a 
weatherproof box or something.  It would take a bit of playing, and I 
just don't have the time to do that sort of stuff when I'm home.
