SMC has announced theres, but just like normal it will not be avaliable for a few months. [Someone correct me if they know of someone else *SHIPPING* hubs today, I don't want to read glossy sales lit, I want to put my hands on it and test it!] I suspect Cisco will have a 100BaseTX router on the market in about the same time frame, they usually don't lag far behind. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
