I have a feeling that's exactly what > Netgear was thinking! Probably. It occurs to me to wonder why no one makes, say, a 24 port POE switch with only enough full power budget for 4-6 ports, *but binding posts on the back for -48*, so if you need to build a Really Big Switch, you can just feed it from as big a rectifier/battery stack as you want. Or *is* there one, and I just haven't come across it yet? :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
