Baah! more than 1 RCX communicating via anything is for people who can't
handle doing everything you need to do on 3 outputs and 3 inputs!
Bunch of wussies who think they need 6+ ports.
The *real* engineers do the same job with a minimalistic attitude, for in
the *real* world, controllers cost money, not to mention the extra
sensors/motors!
The less expensive, the better I always say.
Or another way of putting it comes from my role model in the engineering world--
"The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain!!"
Anytime I get to quote Star Trek makes me a happy camper.
