I had no trouble to speak of with my B&B.
Sounds like you have at least 3 packs plugged into
your Y-cable.  From what I've heard, and my own experiences,
I wouldn't get within 3 blocks of your house when you're using that
setup.  Yes, MPIs are hard to find and some folks hate 'em,
but Y-cables just won't work reliably.  You'd think they would,
with the improved bus drive in the III, but not in my experience.
	Good luck, mike k
