I have to ask, what was wrong with a pair of media converters ($200/pair new, $50/pair on ebay) and some cheap-as-dirt multimode fiber? Isolated, 100mbit and easily, easily gangable. Was the goal simply to get as fast as possible with regular copper wire, or was there a bigger objective? I do appreciate the effort put into this, though, and more than anything I appreciate your posting it here for others. I sincerely thank you for that. -A. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
