I am using a D-Link switch and it has performed acceptably so far. Their wireless access points might be another story, though... I'm using a cisco 3524 xl at the moment. I see the 2900 series switches are fairly cheap these days on ebay. I'd prefer an layer 2/3 managed switch myself. 2924 can be had for a couple of hundred bucks probably. Well worth it when you consider al lthe cool things you can do with it ie. Vlan and access lists. -mb

They must be running JIT over there because the order was delayed a couple of days due to lack of hardware. They waived the shipping and next dayed the box as soon as possible. It was a pleasurable experience and a company I will be doing business with in the future. LSI card, 4 disk scsi, and bsd.mp 3.8-Beta. Re, -mb
1U server recommendation
Hello, Can anyone recommend a decent rack server from HP, Dell, IBM or CDW that will run OpenBSD for webserver use? I would prefer a machine that has SCSI drives with Mirror Raid capabilities. I know I can go piecemeal one from FRY's but I need one that can have a hardware support agreement tied to it. I was glancing at the sunfire v20z , ibm xseries 306 and HP DL360 with Smart Array 6i. The dl360 looks like it fits the bill but I have had problems in the past with the smart array on older DL class boxes. The server(s) will be used for web shell and sftp services under medium loads. Thank you. -mb
