Re: real basic starter rules

Watch the Netgear stuff closely. It might not say "switch" anywhere, but
some of their boxes essentially perform the switch function under some
circumstances. We've been using a Netgear DS104 hub for a couple years
as an access mechanism to perform professional protocol analysis (sniffing)
and other network services for clients in 40+ states. When the ports on
this "hub" are running at the _same_ speed (10 or 100), it performs as
a hub. If the port speeds differ, it performs as a switch without any
shadow of a doubt. Proven time and again.

Same for some of the 3Com hubs.
