s\plenty of\more than enough\ The switches are only about half the depth of the cabinet. I'd have a hell of a time reaching through a 1U gap to a depth of about two feet to do adds, moves, and changes :-) I found a pair of ears that doesn't have the tabs, that may have come with a 2950. I'm looking around for some more of them :-) If anyone knows of a local source for Cisco ears... :-) -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * *********************************************************************** -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
