I am not sure about the switch part.... but I built a 6500 router thats great!! (fast and quiet)
It runs yellowdog linux. There is ALOT of documentation on setting up linux routers. The 6500 natrally fits into a 2u rackmount case and looks great in my rack!! I have been pleased with it. I think I spent $5 on it; to replace the ide drive with a 1gig scsi hard drive. The second network card is a standard pc nic (I had one sitting around), you can use almost any pc nic. The versatility of the firewall/router is what really makes it nice. I purchased a linksys wireless access point because they had good raiting at the time, only later to find out there is --ZERO-- support except for windows usb configuration. With my 6500 router I don't have to worry about any of that... (I could even set the router up as a base station if I hadn't already bought one). The infinate flexability is a blessing.... I hope you find what you are looking for. I found the 6500 at a local university who was getting rid of a bunch of systems (I actually got three, and enough scsi cables to tie my professors car shut for his retirement ;-) hehe good luck Nathan Elliott ------------------- > thanks in advance! > > > ---------- > Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! > A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables. > FAQ at <http://www.themacintoshguy.com/lists/DuoListFAQ.shtml> > Be sure to visit Mac2400! <http://www.sineware.com/mac2400> > > To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Need help from a real person?
