Thanks for the link and quote, appreciate the help. From my searching it sounds like the FCC operates off complaints mostly, so maybe low risk if I did it. But I should be able work around this problem. I'm basically just exposing a GPIO to a RJ-45 connector, so I can access some custom hardware.
I've had 2 ideas already taken by the big guy who can implement stuff quick (but sloppily). I'm not doing anything that earth shattering. Their user base is hard to chip away at when they match me step for step.
