FINALLY!
    I got through to Rupert. His reply is attached. He forgot to
mention method of payment so I sent another email. I am not crazy
about putting my credit card number out on an unsecure site but I
will wait to see what he has to say.

    It looks like Thomas and Rick (Oregon / Utah) could possibly work
a combined shipment but I am just to far away in Mich. I am assuming
you guys will contact Rupert direct. If you have something else in
mind please let me know.

    Thank you George for supplying the correct email address and
thank you David for your offers to help. I was getting real close to
asking for it but wanted to try all I could before I had to impose on
you.

Thanks for passing on this info. If not credit card, I can do PayPal or bank
check. So, 4 port or 6?
Thomas Phy

I would go with the six. The four is a dog :)
