A 24 port 10bt switch has much higher aggregate bandwith than a 100bt hub. The Cisco Catalyst 1900 is nice, and has 2 100bt ports for connection to the backbone. The maximum aggregate bandwidth of the Catalyst 1900 is 440mbs, while a 100bt hub is just 100mbs. > ron > > Ron Minnich |Java: an operating-system-independent, > rminnich@sarnoff.com |architecture-independent programming language > (609)-734-3120 |for Windows/95 and Windows/NT on the Pentium > ftp://ftp.sarnoff.com/pub/mnfs/www/docs/cluster.html Tom
