Run a load between 2, and ping between the other two. Or better yet run a load between each pair of machines and benchmark ftp thruput. At today's prices the only reason I'd run a hub is because I reached into my junk box and thats what came out. If its important enough to go to the store or place an order (rather than scrounge in the junk box), it will be a switch. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
