Well, as a matter of opinion, since there seems to be a shortage of those (haha) I've been thru 2 linksys products now. One a dsl 'router' and a 16 port hub. Also had a couple of those NIC's. Massive collisions on the NICS, hub locked up every few days, but only the stuff with 10/100 would fail. 10 was fine. DSL router was very limited as far as port forwarding, etc. I'll not buy any more. :) I'm sure there are success stories too, just like Chrysler. They got a couple good ones out too. I bought me one of them army green smc switches and a Chevy. Things just rock now. :) .02 -MJ On Fri, 17 May 2002, Wayne Johnson wrote: > What about something like the "Linksys EtherFast® Cable/DSL Router with > USB and 3-Port Switch" (qbitpc.com, $129).
