I will take your challenge.  Let me know any other specific requirements you
have.  I have been wanting to do this type of project any way for the
inductive tach that I want to build for getting rpm of various engines.
Please give me some time though.  I have been putting in a lot of time at
work lately and dont have a lot of free time at the moment.  I am always up
to a good challenge as was evident in winning the engineering design contest
at the U of I for 93.  Also since I am new to network stuff, what is a good
way for me to send the schematic?
