This summer we purchased an Allied Telesyn 724i (I'm guessing as to exact name and P/N) at work. 24 port 10/100 unmanaged, built in AC PS. 19" rackmount size, about 1-1/2" high. Was $629 from http://www.warehouse.com/. Use of the rackmount ears is optional. The holes were drilled such that one could turn the ears 90 degrees. I did. And used the ears to mount it on the wall. Another nice touch was port 24 has a cross-over switch. Plugged in our Pipeline router using the cable Ascend/Lucent provided. No connect. Then flipped the switch and got connected. Other products do the same by providing two RJ-45 jacks, one wired each way. In the last several months the only incident I know of, an NT4SP4 machine lost its network connection. Unplug/replug its ethernet didn't help. Rebooting the NT machine cured the problem. Nobody was surprised. > After a couple of months I put a drop of oil into the bearing of > the cooling fan, which strongly suggested that treatment by the > noises it was making. I need to do that to ours (see above) as its making noises. I check it several times per week to make sure its still moving air. Has two small fans side by side. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
