Hmmm.. This does look interesting. Note that there is way more bandwidth
than I need. Like I said, I am only going to push tops 30Mb/s through the
thing. The cisco would certainly do the job, but I am still looking at 10
times the cost. If I need to spend the money I will, I just hate spending
the money needlessly.
