Ring vs Bus for telephone cables

[rjrobert]

I have a relatively large setup with 3 DC8's a DC4HD, and Aquasurf and the Moonlights. Instead of running the controlling telephone cable in a ring format (like I do now) I would like to have a hub and then run the a seperate telephone cable out to each of the devices.

Can that be done? I would like to know before I go out and buy the hub.

Thanks so much, Happy Memorial Day!

im not aware of anything like that, the telephone folks used 66 or 110 blocks for that sort of thing.

I doubt that you can do it; I've been looking for some time for a X10 repeater and have not yet found anything. Remember; the control signals coming out of the AC is NOT a phone line; it is an X10 command and sync signal (technically intended to feed into a X10 AC line Interface; the DCx and other devices act like an X10 adapter which is why they work).
