I think that 192.160.x.x showed up in this thread as a typo.
Certainly hasn't been in any of my emails!!!!! >

Hmmmmm - - - - so if I were monitoring some 3k sensors/points and the
actual volume of information isn't that high (high for me is say 10 bytes every
0.5 seconds per sensor with most being much lower - - - say 6 to 8 bytes
every 2 to 5 minutes) this still can be controlled through 'one' point?
