can someone please post some code to allow rednet to run over standed redstone

What do you mean by standed redstone?
You can use rednet over bundled cables without changing anything.

It should be pretty obvious what standard redstone is.
Rednet doesn't support it.

Yes, but he said standed /> Didn't thought about standard.

It could be done, but it would be slow as hell, since you'd need to send the message bit per bit, at ~10bps. So it would take like 4 seconds to simply send "PING".

You should try to look around more. Found this:

Extremely slow. If you don't have RP with bundled cables just use a wireless modem.

im doing vary long rang stuff so bundled cable is hard im looking for code to make the sigal redstone twist work

[Luanub]

Bundled would be better then plain old redstone since the bundled cables have a much larger range, they move the data much much faster, and the coding is much simpler..

Either way you are going to have to build a repeater in order to send a message long distances, with plain redstone you're going to need a lot of them.

You can do the same things with the Wireless Modems as well and they are even faster then the bundled cables, although the standard range is less then the bundled cables. But you can change that in the config file if you wish(eliminate the need of repeaters).

EDIT: Also keep in mind that you may have issues going through unloaded chunks as well if you're sending the message really far. I've never used cables connections like this so I'm not 100% sure on that, just a thought.
