IF you have the money, get a gigabit ethernet switch rather than a hub. I don't know how much fiber gigabit ethernet hubs cost (or even exists), but 3Com 12-port 1000BaseSX (SC Connector) managed switches start a $5K for good ones. You may then need to get something called GBICs that connect the fiber cables to the switch. -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
