    You're in luck. parallax.com just came out with resonably priced solar accessories. Tedsmith--I am using a Basic Stamp II with a MAX485 chip to send & receive information over 200' of RJ45 to a RS232 to RS485 converter on my laptop. I am just about done with what I am doing and right on...

In other words I am just...
