Getting it into the panel upstairs might be tricky; the box is in a
finished wall.  I guess I could just plop it inside the box.

Two are in the basement, no problem there.  The third is in the
playroom behind a bookcase, probably OK too.

Of course, with ethernet, I need a separate programming circuit.

My house is already wired for ethernet in pretty much every room,
certainly near enough to the panels to run wire to them without having
to go through walls.  One of the panels is right next to the patch
panel and servers anyway.
