What kind do you have now (so I can avoid getting one of those myself :-))? I've always thought the Intel switch looked interesting (I forget the model number); it is fairly inexpensive and has hardware packet switching (unlike most cheap switches that do packet switching in software). I don't have any personal experiance with the Intel switch, however, so don't consider this a recommendation. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
