...there are so many excessively bright and experienced minds on this list I can't imagine a _better_ place to ask it. My ISP (for whom I consult from time to time) is looking into Layer 4 Gigabit Ethernet; he needs some idea of the quality of various switches out there. If anyone here has recommendations or experiences with such switches, please email me directly (off-list). I would be, well, not _eternally_ in your debt, but I'll stand you a drink at BSDCon. Oh, he's looking into this because, quite unexpectedly, he has become something of a miniature MAE down here in Marina Del Rey. He needs gigabit just to keep up with the traffic. -- Frank Mayhar [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://store.exit.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
