Dave, you can't be Mr. Cheap if you spend $200 a week at buy.com. Sounds like Mr. Addicted to Upgrade. Wasn't that a song? Just kidding, Dave, I'm sure your working with lots of people and machines. peter

>>D-Link 5 port switch: big thumbs up. Auto sensing? Don't have experience with D-Link myself; good to have the input, though. 5 ports is a nice number. For some reason, I always need more than four <g>. Of course, switching is not so important for us non-DSL users :(. On the other hand, I have DSL ordered :). However, it probably won't be in until Sept :(. It's symmetric, though :). Unfortunately, it's slower than I want - 160/160 :(. But it beats 56k :). However, it's expensive (89.95) compared to 384/192 ADSL from same ISP (59.95) :(. I'm a bit too far from the station, but fortunately it's not a technical limitation :). It's a legal one :(. Maybe soon I will be able to upgrade service and drop price :). If Flashcom wins suit against Bell Atlantic :(. So we shall see. Maybe I'll be in the market for a switch.
