[hpsdr] Ozy with Gb Ethernet

[Warren Walsh]

No problem Eric,

I'm used to the design process, and a Devil's Advocate is helpful.

GbE is not overly difficult, but I believe it will not be cost effective.  A
10/100BT interface should be less costly.

In any case, this should start the process going.

73,
Warren - K2BM
