I'm interested in being able to test with different channel aggregatin technologies and with Gigabit ethernet as we implement features. I'm new to purchasing network products (and working on TCP/IP/Ethernet stacks), so do any of you have experience with NPI's Capstone 6g? How does it compare to Cisco, Fore, etc... Who would you recommend as far as cheapest TCO? What's important here is that we're not actually going to use this for our Corporate LAN; only for a small, high-end testing/development lab. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Davis | Excerpt from my latest project: Software Engineer | 0000100010111000001010010001 ECCS, Inc. | 1000101011110110001110101000 dand@eclipse.net | "That's the philosophical equivalent of http://www.eccs.com | Folger's crystals!" - Dan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
