But, strangely, the pdx.edu mail server couldn't deliver the message. Oh well. It is now later and I have time to deal with the switch issue. I am not good at fixing things. Plus, even if I fix it, how long will it last before dying on me again? I'd rather give it away and get a new one. But that means shopping, and all I know is that I want one that is 24 ports, gigabit rated, and manufactured by someone that has a good reputation for reliability. Google found me 24-port gigabit switches for as little as $115, but I don't know about the quality. Does anyone have recommendations for brands and/or models that are reliable? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
