Buy whatever you can afford. Cisco 2511s work well but are pretty expensive. I dunno if I'd consider a Portmaster as others have suggested but they would probably work fine, except for their large size. You should be able to score a DECserver 300 or better (not a 100 or a 200 mind you, as they are LAT only.) on eBay for less than $50. -- | Matthew N.
