A D-Link FlexSwitch DES-3205, seems to be working happily, but a one man shop has a hard time streasing a 100MB/s switch very much :-). Nice thing is that it is a 10/100MB/s switch so I don't have to route between my 2 segments anymore :-) There is currently a product promotion on these for those who are interested that includes the DES-3205 switch and 5 DFE-500TX 10/100MB/s ethernet cards (DC21140 based, FreeBSD certified by AAC) going for the grand old price of $2017 until 9/30/1996.
