If price is an issue, you can look into what some smaller vendors (such as linksys (now of cisco too, but cheaper), Netgear and others) call 'smart switches'.

It's like a low cost managed switch. _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome "When the Paris Exhibition closes electric light will close with it and no more be heard of."
