While on the subject of good value _SWITCHES_ you might want to try a
buffalo switch, which comes in 8 and 16 port varieties. PCPRO reviewed the
8 port version and gave it a reccomended award.
You can check out the specs at http://www.techworks.co.uk/
(Just to say, that I am in no way associated with this company. I just need
to look around a bit more when choosing a company name!)
