[Elecraft] K3->SteppIR via Network?

[Fred Jensen]

I have not tried this.  But, in one of the early Star Wars movies, the 
heroes and R2D2 were in the Death Star, and R2D2 just plugged into a 
"network port" and read all the traffic.  After the movie, my wife asked 
me, "Can you actually just do that ... your plug fits the socket and it 
just happens?"  I replied, "Not in our lifetimes."

Of course now, the phone in my cargo shorts connects to McDonald's WiFi 
when I walk in [I do occasionally eat a Sausage Egg McMuffin :-)] 
without me asking or even knowing.

I'm sure there is a way for you to do this.  Save my email addr and it 
you don't make progress, let me know direct.  I don't know the answer 
but I may know some who may know.
