Roy,
Check out Allied Telesis, who has good prices/features. A 12 port
modular 10Base-T hub with SNMP, additional telnet-able management, low
rack real estate and an AUI up-port is $650. Only $54/port. They have
other up-port and interface options. I'm not a saleperson, just someone
who has done some recent evaluations, I didn't even "do lunch" with
them. A.T. has being very helpful in representing their products unlike
some of the bigger companies who seem to have become too big for their
britches.
We at CMU got burnt in dealing with bad rev. interface cards from
Asanti. Their tech support had bad followup, did not return calls, etc.
This is sort of like buying a car, everything seems smooth at the
showroom with hidden surprises in the service department.
Pete
