Yes. I bought two FS-105's, one for me and one for a co-worker. CompUSA
had a $20 rebate on them from 12/26 - 1/1, making them $99.
We attacked Rich's switch in the lab. We plugged ports 1-4 into 4 10/100
ports on a SmartBits 2000 test chassis and banged it with full-duplex bi-
directional streams between ports 1<->2 and 3<->4. I am happy to report
that it passed 100% of traffic at all packet sizes except 64 bytes, where
it was still able to pass 99.415% of wire speed, or 591,716 packets per
second. This is quite impressive for such an inexpensive switch, and should
perform adequately for my 3-system NFS nightmare I'm building at home. ;^)
