   What kind do you have now (so I can avoid getting one of those myself :-))?
I've always thought the Intel switch looked interesting (I forget the model
number); it is fairly inexpensive and has hardware packet switching (unlike
most cheap switches that do packet switching in software). I don't have any
personal experiance with the Intel switch, however, so don't consider this
a recommendation.
