Lines: 21 We've used Sytek, I'm not overly thrilled, but it seems to work for small implementations. University of Maryland had a more complex system. We don't do much direct Async on the Broadband, mostly Ethernet bridging where we have used Applitek and Chipcom devices. Unfortunately all of my experience is for MIDSPLIT. With a SUBSPLIT system your choices are much more limitted. You might point out to your campus that you don't need a converter for MIDSPLIT systems. Nearly every TV set made in recent history is "cable ready" and has no problem recieving the other channels. Of course going out and replacing every amplifier on your system is going to be a bit of expense. -Ron By the way, my files have sytek as: SYTEK: Mountain View, CA (415) 966-7400 NJ Sales Office: 935-6400 Judy Ciorciaro will call back.
