OK;  
So

1. I have an RTCM at my home, along with a Pi running ASL. A second RTCM is installed at a repeater 8 miles away connected to a local LAN via internet, or a cellular modem. That will work?

2. I have two RTCM at those locations, both point to ASL’s severs with no other computer required. That will also work?
