Hi, Roy.

RM> Hmm. It's easy to use a simple spdt switch to do an even number (2

RM> I'm out of touch here - are 2 poles readily available?

Now that can't be right. Assume that you could do 4-way with spdt
switches, and you want 3-way. Just wire up 4-way and hide the 4th
switch. Then think, shit, that 4th switch isn't doing anything - I'll
just hard-wire it.

Regards, fIM.
