Hi,

I am looking for a 100BaseT HUB (repeater) to go with some FreeBSD
machines and the SMC 10/100MB DEC 21140 ethernet cards on them.

I was wondering if anybody had experience with 8 or 12 Port hubs
and was satisfied with them.

I have a quote for an ASANTE  12 port stackable for ~$1200. The
usual pirce of this gizmo and the BAY NETWORK equivalent being
~$1600. I am tempted to go with the ASANTE but am unsure of the 
quality. Anybody use these?

Thanks in advance.
