I just looked at the Hawking 24 port switch. It's 300.00 and 3com switch is
around 800.00
If you buy the 3com you KNOW it will work and never have to touch it again.
I have 3 of the 24 ports their 3 years old and I haven't touched them since
i bought the things.
If you buy the Hawking for 300.00 You'll save 500.00 and NOT KNOW what your
getting. As soon as it breaks your out the 500.00 once you figure the cost
of 24 nodes with no LAN connection + your time supporting the thing.
Just my 2 cents.

I dunno about their switches, but their print server appliances are very
erratic. My take: Avoid if possible, bill by the hour otherwise. ;-)
