If you're going with the hard-wired option, give Normandeau Communications<http://www.normandeaucommunications.com/> a try. I've recommended them to other clients and they've done a great job. They're in Florence, but I'm sure they'll make the trip down to Holyoke. Their phone number is (413) 584-3131. Frank Aronson.
