I have a good reason to revive this thread. I thought anyone who followed this conversation might want to know that one of the switches we dicussed, the Netgear FS-105, is on a special at CompUSA right now -- THROUGH TOMORROW. The special is a $20 mail-in rebate, making the price of the switch $99.99 in the CompUSA stores. I haven't had a chance to put this through it's paces, but I bought 2 earlier today, one for me and one for a friend. When I get back to the test lab on Monday, I'll hook it up to a SmartBits and make it sweat. If you're looking for a nice little 5-port 100Base-TX switch, this is a good opportunity (if you have a CompUSA store nearby). -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
