Thanks for the input Mark. I like new ideas. Since Linksys is getting really
mixed ratings, I don't mind buying another type of a switch. Someone here asked
about the budget for the switch or 48 ports: there is a max of $1000. Of
course, I don't want to use all the money :)
- I would stay away from the Cisco, even though I don't have any problem with
setup (CCNA Certified), but the price is not justifiable for this place and
it's an overkill probably.
