   Posting traffic has considerably increased of late,
   partly my "fault" ... but COSLM was kind of dying
   and that would have been tragic. Forgive the sort
   of off-topic stuff, but it DOES keep minds alive -
   you can't ALWAYS think about Linux without kind
   of seizing up :-)

   I do try to insert at least a little computing/
   algo/Linux in as much as opportune.

   I've had to skip subject threading because of all
   the new postings ... just datetime sorting now.

   So, yes, I might have mixed you and another poster
   up a bit.

   However that poster WAS complaining of drop-outs
   due to changes in the physical environ ... ie
   large fire trucks pulling in and blocking the
   wifi signal. For that, my rec of a decently placed
   wifi extender IS a good cheap fix. If you keep
   getting interference, try switching the IP cam
   to the extender and see how that works ....
   a $49.95 solution ........
