Hi,

Sofar we've been able to mange everything on Thinnet and simple UTP/10Mb.

BUT the days have come that certain parts of the network could do with
either 10Mb or 100Mb switched. Now one more problem is that we're a
FreeBSD (and Win'95 for personal use) only shop.

So I have two decissions to make: (or are there more open ends?)
    1)	What brand of switches should I use?
    1a)   Which switches should I avoid?
    2)	Do I need a SNMP managment system (other than the FreeBSD-CMU stuff)
    2a)   What packages would you advice?

Thanx,
	Willem Jan Withagen
