I came in kinda late to this thread, but if you're trying to find a hub/switch in order to sniff network traffic, then you can always go for a switch that let's you monitor traffic on other ports. I know the Cisco's will let you do this, but I'd be suprised if you couldn't find it on some other cheaper switches. -- DE _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
