Uh huh. Theres probably not much point getting a 10Base2 repeater unless you
run a very large (geographically) site. You're probably running 10BaseT
anyway - stop being so tight and fork out the $50 ;)  I saw 8 port 10/100
Mototech switches for $200 at the PC show... I have one of those (from the
back of a truck), it works very nicely. Is that a typical street price
nowadays for a small switch? Does anyone know a good source for a 24 port
version?

Cheers!
