The last time I bought an 8 port switch, it was nearly $500. Now some 
are under $99 for 16 port versions.

I am intending on using astlinux for router/firewall and will need 12 or 
so ports for all my extensions, 2 FXO adapters, and several computers.  
What buzzwords should I be looking for ? Are QOS and stateful packet 
inspection only in routers ? Will any support usage of above from 
astlinux ?  What are MDI/MDIX are they important for an Asterisk user 
and home networker ? What about flow control and back pressure ? Are 
there any thing else I should look for ? 

After I wade through all the suggestions, I'll boil it all down to 
something that I'll not regret for at least 3-5 years or longer.
