this sounds like a really exciting idea to resolve my problem. however
i can not find anything in my 2700 manual about how to change the code
the receiver "listens" to. perhaps i miss understand the idea but i
don't think so. it is brilliant but i don't know how to do as you say.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 11/6/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Michael T. Dean</b> <<a href="mailto:mtdean@thirdcontact.com">mtdean@thirdcontact.com
