    As a result of upgrading to a PAC, I now have a "redundant" PCI... - my
    original plan was to sell it on... However, for the time being I have
    both the PCI and the PAC simultaneously connected up to my server, -
    both of them are working fine, - I can change the COM port connection
    between them in CBUS Toolkit and open the network with either..

    Which got me wondering... - is there anything I can actually *do* with a
    2nd interface on the same machine? - can I run 2 copies of CGATE on the
    same server? (I suspect not). Is there anything available that doesn't require CGATE to access the CBUS network? - just after any ideas for something useful to do with the 2nd interface, - or if it's even possible...

    TIA

    Or for interfacing into a third party central home automation system.
