[Coco] CoCoNet/serial pak survey

[Fedor Steeman]

Hi Rog',

With a hundred feet (30 meter) range wireless connection would just about
connect the CoCo in one end of my house to the PC in the other, so I would
prefer option 2.

If option 2 is too expensive I would prefer option 1. I do have a multipak
that I would be able to put into good use.

Cheers,
Fedor
