If you're going for cheap consumer grade stuff, you could do worse than a Linksys WRT54GL --- four-port switch, separate ethernet uplink, reprogrammable. Unfortunately it doesn't run any BSD (not even NetBSD, which surprises me) but there's a rather decent and no-nonsense replacement Linux firmware. About 35 UKP. (It's also got a built-in wireless AP, but alas, it uses the Broadcom chipset...) - -- b bb o=o=o< o=o=o=o= o=o=o= o<o=o=o= bbb http://www.cowlark.com bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb b b "There does not now, nor will there ever, exist a programming language in b which it is the least bit hard to write bad programs." --- Flon's Axiom Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGwt2Jf9E0noFvlzgRAtsjAJ9sUgpOVvcQu0UGD+JrnZlUkBz0GQCg3O83 j/o5bXkh43GCwuWCWXlW3Pg= =mMff -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
