New Keypad Software
I fairly recently received an email announcing new keypad software. Unfortunately it appears that my keypad is too old to accept it. Can someone please redirect me to this information?

Re: Rotating pier adapter
#Polar_Alignment
I may have missed what you have for a pier, but I have the RPA installed on a 10" schedule 20 pipe. The RPA and other 10" adapters are held to a pier with 6 screws, which go through the pier pipe.

Re: USB (or Serial) vs Ethernet: Which is better or more reliable?
Here is my reliability list, FWIW. Starting with the most reliable and going down to the least reliable.
1. Real RS-232 cable between two real RS-232 ports. No USB involved. Greatest weakness of this
