Intel ES410T 16 Port 10/100 - $365.00 (CF Dude Discount) List is like $600+ Steve - Original Message - From: "Bud" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 08, 2001 7:50 AM Subject: OT: Bandwidth and SQL Server questions > Sorry for the OT post.

RE: Bandwidth and SQL Server questions
As a general resource: http://dir.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Communications_and_Networking/Be nchmarks/ Hopefully theres something there that would be useful.

You guys are my bestest resource. :) I just bumped up my server to a T-1 where I colo. This outfit has been a little less that honest with me, although I've really been happy with the performance of their network.

Bud, For a switch I highly recommend a HP Procurve 2524. http://www.hp.com/rnd/products/switches/switch2524-2512/summary.htm Tony Gruen -Original Message- From: Bud [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 08, 2001 7:51 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: Bandwidth and SQL Server questions Sorry for the OT post.
