Roughly, there's: * Enterprise-grade kit (Cisco Catalyst series, HP Procurve series) that gets used for billable services - runs for years at a time. * Second tier stuff (Linksys, Netgear, D-Link) that might be rebadged no-name gear - if downtime matters, buy a spare. * No-name gear (Dynex, Lucky Double Pigeon Brand) - treat as a fire hazard. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
