I am not sure where I got it. I buy computer supplies and equipment from only a 
handful of places: Staples, Future Shop (Canadian company owned by Best Buy), 
the Source (Canadian version of Radio Shack but owned by Circuit City), Factory 
Direct (factorydirect.ca) and Canada Computers. I think that it was either 
Staples or Factory Direct, but can't remember. You can find lots of print 
servers online.

Mine looks like this:

This is a newer version of mine:

Here is a review of SMC, plus the unfavorable one in pcmag above:

I checked the Factory Direct website and they have three for sale, two by 
NetGear and one by LinkSys. I checked Staples (Canada only as I need to input a 
zip code to search US) and found they carry D-Link. But Factory Direct's prices 
were way better. I paid under $20 for mine (on clearance), but they are going 
for $35 - $150 today with Factory Direct being at the bottom end. At the top 
end you get lots of bells and whistles such as G support, lots of ports and 
routers with print servers, etc. Mine is very basic, but does what I want it 
to. Much of the market is directed towards business or SOHO. Prices seem higher 
than I remember because they have added lots to them. I checked eBay and they 
had some inexpensive ones.

Best of luck,
Roy

Thanks again, Roy.  I will see if I can find a stateside supplier.  I
don't know what the duty is from Canada anymore (haven't been to
Sudbury in quite awhile}. If you can supply anymore info I sure would
appreciate it.
