I saw a friend of mine do it once. He has 2 identical signal quote pages
in each computer ane one of those spletter things. It worked while I was
there. Someone else told me that what occurs is the signal people send out
a special signal to mess things up so that people pay for more than one box.
But couldn't the signal feed go into an old computer and then out the
two serial ports with no problem, if you write special software to handle it
and distribute it?
Happy Splitting
