Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2000 17:11:21 -0600 From: Stephen Hocking Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I just went out & bought a D-Link 10/100 switch. There was another 16 port 10/100 switch on sale by netgear, for twice the price. Now I've established that they're both switches (as opposed to hubs) and the three machines I current have connected to it have sucessfully negotiated 100Mbs full-duplex (speed is great!). Is there any reasons why I should've considered the netgear unit? I didn't see anything on the box (after a rather cursory perusal) on it about managability, SNMP et cetera.
