It's even cheaper to cascade 10mbps/repeaters off of hdx switch 10's and aggregate them into 100's. Yeah, and then you can network a whole office building that way (who needs messy routers anyway?)... and be surprised when you discover that your 10mb ether segments are at 30% utilization in the middle of the night due to SAPs from Novell servers. And wonder why productivity goes to zero in the middle of the afternoon as the dark clouds of a broadcast storm gather in the west. No, I don't know of any Fortune 500 corporations in my immediate area whom this has happened to. ---Rob
