It's interesting to see that the picture of the ePunch unit mounted Horizontally has a serial cable hanging from it. IT looks like a master station!!!!

I've seen that all the time at orienteering events - NTOA, HOC, ALTOS, etc. 
do not use stands to hang their controls and punches, but instead hang 
them from tree branches.  This means that usually the epunch box is lashed 
to a mostly-vertical tree trunk.  Although, I guess usually the boxes at the 
starts are horizontally-oriented, I'm pretty sure I have encountered finish 
epunch boxes vertically-oriented.
