I've seen a couple of recommendations for Netblazers for remote, switched, ethernet access. Anybody gone out to bid for these things and gotten a good price? I'd need maybe 50 of them for the application I have in mind and I'm looking for a ballpark cost figure to see if its worth looking into. Can one unit serve as a "hub" and feed 2 or more remote sites? How many interfaces are possible (advisable) on one "hub" unit? Thanks, Jeff Crowder jcrowder@groupw.cns.vt.edu

How many >interfaces are possible (advisable) on one "hub" unit? Yes, one hub can handle a large number of devices. The manual I have says it can handle (with the appropriate serial interface cards) 26 modems on one box. -- Stan internet: sob@bcm.tmc.edu Director, Networking Olan uucp: rutgers!bcm!sob and Systems Support Barber Opinions expressed are only mine.
