I agree with most of Raymond's other points, but I have to take issue with this one:

That's one *bloody* expensive switch, considering a decent quality 24-port 10/100 switch can be had for £40 (say $70). It's very difficult to justify a recommendation that a small business should pay over 7 times the price for a PoE capable switch. Regards, Chris -- C.M. Bagnall, Director, Minotaur I.T.
