I do not claim to be a mac master here, but unless these are stoneage
macs, shoudnt they be 10/100 nics? Most of the cheap switches are indeed
unmanaged, so all you can really do is plug stuff in and look at the leds
on the front to see if youre getting 10 or 100, as well as half or full
duplex. Tried lookin at mac model sites like
http://www.apple-history.com/index.html to see what features the models in
question have?
Tough to justify major expense given the office size, but going managed to
a say 2912 is an option??
