Ok, detalii nu am despre produsul despre care am vorbit in mail-ul
initial (a fost demult, intr-un chip parca). Dar:

Partea interesanta e ca, cu exceptii notabile ('passive ethernet
transceiver hubs', care vin cu cate 24/32 porturi si mii de usd la pret,
par sa fie legate de transmisii de video over utp), nu am gasit nici un
