I've got a P120/32m with 2 ZNYX 314s in it. 8 ethernet ports total, 5 in use. It works very well. I don't have any hard numbers, but I was ftp'ing from an Ultra1/140 to a P90 across the router and got around 850k/sec transfering a 300 meg tar/gzip file. And the P90 was waiting on the Ultra. Just get a few ZNYX 314s and you'll be ready to go. Have a good one. | Matthew N.
