Alternatively, is there an appliance that could do this? (a managed switch/hub, perhaps?) This would be the preferable solution, but a FreeBSD system would probably be less costly. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated ----------- Robert Wall sales@web-walrus.com Web Walrus Media 405 S Farwell St #23C Eau Claire, WI 54701 (715) 855-0189 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
